The calcium (Ca(2+))-paradox injury of the heart, induced by restoration of extracellular Ca(2+) after its short-term depletion, is known to provoke cardiomyocyte contracture. However, undetermined is how the Ca(2+)-paradox provokes such a distinctive presentation of myocytes in the heart. To
American journal of physiology. Heart and circulatory physiology, 309(3), H490-H498 (2015-05-24)
Pacemaker myocytes in the sinoatrial node of the heart initiate each heartbeat by firing spontaneous action potentials. However, the molecular processes that underlie pacemaking are incompletely understood, in part because of our limited ability to manipulate protein expression within the

RNA binding protein is identified as an important mediator of aberrant alternative splicing in muscle atrophy. The altered splicing of calcium channels, such as ryanodine receptors (RyRs), plays an important role in impaired excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling in muscle atrophy; however

Accumulating evidence indicates that substance P is cardioprotective following ischemia-reperfusion primarily due to its potent coronary vasodilator actions. However, an anti-apoptotic effect of substance P has been observed in tenocytes following ischemia, which involved activation of the AKT pathway. This

Mutations in desmosomal proteins can induce arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy with life-threatening arrhythmia. Previous data demonstrated adrenergic signalling to be important to regulate desmosomal cohesion in cardiac myocytes. Here, we investigated how signalling pathways including adrenergic signalling, PKC and SERCA regulate desmosomal

Mechanical forces regulate cell behavior and tissue morphogenesis. During cardiac development, mechanical stimuli from the heartbeat are required for cardiomyocyte maturation, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we first show that the forces of the contracting heart regulate

Rapid decontamination of the skin is the single most important action to prevent dermal absorption of chemical contaminants in persons exposed to chemical warfare agents (CWA) and toxic industrial chemicals (TICs) as a result of accidental or intentional release. Chemicals
Nature methods, 16(10), 1054-1062 (2019-09-29)
The limited per-pixel bandwidth of most microscopy methods requires compromises between field of view, sampling density and imaging speed. This limitation constrains studies involving complex motion or fast cellular signaling, and presents a major bottleneck for high-throughput structural imaging. Here
Cell reports, 42(4), 112330-112330 (2023-04-05)
A limitation in the application of pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (PSC-CMs) is the failure of these cells to achieve full functional maturity. The mechanisms by which directed differentiation differs from endogenous development, leading to consequent PSC-CM maturation arrest, remain unclear.
Journal of animal science, 93(1), 197-208 (2015-01-09)
The experimental objective was to evaluate swine methane digester effluent (SMDE) as a water and nutrient source for swine. The mesophilic methane digester was loaded daily with manure from finishing swine fed a corn-soybean meal diet. Dry diet was mixed
Biophysical journal, 99(1), 193-200 (2010-07-27)
The interaction of troponin molecules on the thin filament with Ca(2+) plays a key role in regulating muscle contraction. To characterize the structural changes of troponin caused by Ca(2+) and crossbridge formation, we recorded the small-angle x-ray intensity and the
Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's archives of pharmacology, 359(6), 484-492 (1999-08-04)
The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of the putative protein phosphatase (PP) activator 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM) in vascular smooth muscle. BDM concentration-dependently increased PP activity in homogenates of bovine coronary arteries and led to dephosphorylation of
Nature communications, 13(1), 6166-6166 (2022-10-19)
The intercalated disc (ICD) is a unique membrane structure that is indispensable to normal heart function, yet its structural organization is not completely understood. Previously, we showed that the ICD-bound transmembrane protein 65 (Tmem65) was required for connexin43 (Cx43) localization
Genetics, 201(1), 91-116 (2015-09-12)
The functional integrity of neurons requires the bidirectional active transport of synaptic vesicles (SVs) in axons. The kinesin motor KIF1A transports SVs from somas to stable SV clusters at synapses, while dynein moves them in the opposite direction. However, it
Environmental microbiology, 11(2), 432-445 (2009-02-07)
The capacity of Listeria monocytogenes to withstand low pH is important for growth in low-pH foods, successful passage through the gastric barrier and survival within the macrophage phagosome. The ability of this pathogen to survive and adapt to acidic conditions
Antioxidants (Basel, Switzerland), 11(9) (2022-09-24)
The biomarker 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (oh8dG) is derived from oxidized nucleic acids or products of oxidant-mediated DNA damage. Enhanced sodium bicarbonate cotransporter (NBC) activity is caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in ventricular myocytes. Thus, we hypothesized that cardioplegia-solution-mediated ROS generation
Protoplasma, 225(1-2), 1-4 (2005-05-04)
BDM (2,3-butanedione monoxime) has been used extensively to inhibit nonmuscle myosin. However, recent articles raise the question of what BDM actually does, because of experiments in which BDM did not affect the actin-activated ATPase of nonmuscle myosins. We describe results
American journal of physiology. Heart and circulatory physiology, 326(1), H203-H215 (2023-11-17)
Ventricular arrhythmias contribute significantly to cardiovascular mortality, with coronary artery disease as the predominant underlying cause. Understanding the mechanisms of arrhythmogenesis is essential to identify proarrhythmic factors and develop novel approaches for antiarrhythmic prophylaxis and treatment. Animal models are vital
Molecular and cellular biochemistry, 476(2), 1233-1243 (2020-11-29)
Vinblastine (VBL) has been considered as a first-line anti-tumor drug for many years. However, vinblastine-caused myocardial damage has been continually reported. The underlying molecular mechanism of the myocardial damage remains unknown. Here, we show that vinblastine induces myocardial damage and
Protoplasma, 248(1), 205-216 (2010-11-30)
Actin and myosin are components of plasmodesmata, the cytoplasmic channels between plant cells, but their role in regulating these channels is unclear. Here, we investigated the role of myosin in regulating plasmodesmata in a well-studied, simple system comprising single filaments

The plant-saprophytic basidiomycete, Coprinopsis cinerea, produces and secretes various cellulases during cellulose degradation as the main extracellular proteins. Although enzymatic characterization of such cellulases has been frequently reported, the mechanism of their secretion remains unclear. This study focused on myosins
