The Mineralocorticoid Receptor Leads to Increased Expression of EGFR
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The mineralocorticoid receptor leads to increased expression of EGFR and T‑type calcium channels that support HL‑1 cell hypertrophy Katharina Stroedecke1,2, Sandra Meinel1,2, Fritz Markwardt1, Udo Kloeckner1, Nicole Straetz1, Katja Quarch1, Barbara Schreier1, Michael Kopf1, Michael Gekle1 & Claudia Grossmann1* The EGF receptor (EGFR) has been extensively studied in tumor biology and recently a role in cardiovascular pathophysiology was suggested. The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is an important efector of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone‑system and elicits pathophysiological efects in the cardiovascular system; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Our aim was to investigate the importance of EGFR for MR‑mediated cardiovascular pathophysiology because MR is known to induce EGFR expression. We identifed a SNP within the EGFR promoter that modulates MR‑induced EGFR expression. In RNA‑sequencing and qPCR experiments in heart tissue of EGFR KO and WT mice, changes in EGFR abundance led to diferential expression of cardiac ion channels, especially of the T‑type calcium channel CACNA1H. Accordingly, CACNA1H expression was increased in WT mice after in vivo MR activation by aldosterone but not in respective EGFR KO mice. Aldosterone‑ and EGF‑responsiveness of CACNA1H expression was confrmed in HL‑1 cells by Western blot and by measuring peak current density of T‑type calcium channels. Aldosterone‑induced CACNA1H protein expression could be abrogated by the EGFR inhibitor AG1478. Furthermore, inhibition of T‑type calcium channels with mibefradil or ML218 reduced diameter, volume and BNP levels in HL‑1 cells. In conclusion the MR regulates EGFR and CACNA1H expression, which has an efect on HL‑1 cell diameter, and the extent of this regulation seems to depend on the SNP‑216 (G/T) genotype. -
Towards Mutation-Specific Precision Medicine in Atypical Clinical
International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Towards Mutation-Specific Precision Medicine in Atypical Clinical Phenotypes of Inherited Arrhythmia Syndromes Tadashi Nakajima * , Shuntaro Tamura, Masahiko Kurabayashi and Yoshiaki Kaneko Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Gunma University Graduate School of Medicine, Maebashi 371-8511, Gunma, Japan; [email protected] (S.T.); [email protected] (M.K.); [email protected] (Y.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +81-27-220-8145; Fax: +81-27-220-8158 Abstract: Most causal genes for inherited arrhythmia syndromes (IASs) encode cardiac ion channel- related proteins. Genotype-phenotype studies and functional analyses of mutant genes, using heterol- ogous expression systems and animal models, have revealed the pathophysiology of IASs and enabled, in part, the establishment of causal gene-specific precision medicine. Additionally, the utilization of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology have provided further insights into the patho- physiology of IASs and novel promising therapeutic strategies, especially in long QT syndrome. It is now known that there are atypical clinical phenotypes of IASs associated with specific mutations that have unique electrophysiological properties, which raises a possibility of mutation-specific precision medicine. In particular, patients with Brugada syndrome harboring an SCN5A R1632C mutation exhibit exercise-induced cardiac events, which may be caused by a marked activity-dependent loss of R1632C-Nav1.5 availability due to a marked delay of recovery from inactivation. This suggests that the use of isoproterenol should be avoided. Conversely, the efficacy of β-blocker needs to be examined. Patients harboring a KCND3 V392I mutation exhibit both cardiac (early repolarization syndrome and Citation: Nakajima, T.; Tamura, S.; paroxysmal atrial fibrillation) and cerebral (epilepsy) phenotypes, which may be associated with a Kurabayashi, M.; Kaneko, Y. -

Non-Coding Rnas in the Cardiac Action Potential and Their Impact on Arrhythmogenic Cardiac Diseases
Review Non-Coding RNAs in the Cardiac Action Potential and Their Impact on Arrhythmogenic Cardiac Diseases Estefania Lozano-Velasco 1,2 , Amelia Aranega 1,2 and Diego Franco 1,2,* 1 Cardiovascular Development Group, Department of Experimental Biology, University of Jaén, 23071 Jaén, Spain; [email protected] (E.L.-V.); [email protected] (A.A.) 2 Fundación Medina, 18016 Granada, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Cardiac arrhythmias are prevalent among humans across all age ranges, affecting millions of people worldwide. While cardiac arrhythmias vary widely in their clinical presentation, they possess shared complex electrophysiologic properties at cellular level that have not been fully studied. Over the last decade, our current understanding of the functional roles of non-coding RNAs have progressively increased. microRNAs represent the most studied type of small ncRNAs and it has been demonstrated that miRNAs play essential roles in multiple biological contexts, including normal development and diseases. In this review, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the functional contribution of non-coding RNAs, primarily microRNAs, to the normal configuration of the cardiac action potential, as well as their association to distinct types of arrhythmogenic cardiac diseases.

Atrial Fibrillation (ATRIA) Study
European Journal of Human Genetics (2014) 22, 297–306 & 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1018-4813/14 www.nature.com/ejhg REVIEW Atrial fibrillation: the role of common and rare genetic variants Morten S Olesen*,1,2,4, Morten W Nielsen1,2,4, Stig Haunsø1,2,3 and Jesper H Svendsen1,2,3 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia affecting 1–2% of the general population. A number of studies have demonstrated that AF, and in particular lone AF, has a substantial genetic component. Monogenic mutations in lone and familial AF, although rare, have been recognized for many years. Presently, mutations in 25 genes have been associated with AF. However, the complexity of monogenic AF is illustrated by the recent finding that both gain- and loss-of-function mutations in the same gene can cause AF. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have indicated that common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have a role in the development of AF. Following the first GWAS discovering the association between PITX2 and AF, several new GWAS reports have identified SNPs associated with susceptibility of AF. To date, nine SNPs have been associated with AF. The exact biological pathways involving these SNPs and the development of AF are now starting to be elucidated. Since the first GWAS, the number of papers concerning the genetic basis of AF has increased drastically and the majority of these papers are for the first time included in a review. In this review, we discuss the genetic basis of AF and the role of both common and rare genetic variants in the susceptibility of developing AF. -

Glomerular development has been analyzed mainly in mice, whereas analysis of human kidney development has been minimal because of limited access to embryonic kidneys. We previously reported the induction of three-dimensional primordial glomeruli from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Here, using transcription activator–like effector nuclease-mediated homologous recombination, we generated human iPS cell lines that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the NPHS1 locus, which encodes nephrin, and we show that GFP expression facilitated accurate visualization of nephrin-positive podocyte formation in -

In this review, we present an in-depth analysis of microarray-based gene expression profiles available for microdissected mouse distal nephron segments, i.e., the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and the connecting tubule (CNT), and for the cortical portion of the collecting duct (CCD) (Zuber et al., 2009). Classification of expressed transcripts in 14 major functional gene categories demonstrated that all principal proteins involved in maintaining of salt and water balance are represented by highly abundant transcripts. However, a significant number of transcripts belonging, for instance, to categories of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) or serine-threonine kinases exhibit high expression levels but remain unassigned to a specific renal function. -
Sodium Channel Mutations in Epilepsy and Other Neurological Disorders
Sodium channel mutations in epilepsy and other neurological disorders Miriam H. Meisler, Jennifer A. Kearney J Clin Invest. 2005;115(8):2010-2017. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI25466. Review Series Since the first mutations of the neuronal sodium channelS CN1A were identified 5 years ago, more than 150 mutations have been described in patients with epilepsy. Many are sporadic mutations and cause loss of function, which demonstrates haploinsufficiency of SCN1A. Mutations resulting in persistent sodium current are also common. Coding variants of SCN2A, SCN8A, and SCN9A have also been identified in patients with seizures, ataxia, and sensitivity to pain, respectively. The rapid pace of discoveries suggests that sodium channel mutations are significant factors in the etiology of neurological disease and may contribute to psychiatric disorders as well.
