In situations of stress the heart beats faster and stronger.

Lodder 2 and Ronald Wilders 1 1 Department of Medical Biology, Amsterdam University Medical Centers, University of Amsterdam, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands; [email protected] 2 Department of Experimental Cardiology, Amsterdam University Medical Centers, University of Amsterdam, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +31-20-5664670 Received: 29 March 2019; Accepted: 23 April 2019; Published: 25 April 2019 Abstract: Mammalian aquaporins (AQPs) are transmembrane channels expressed in a large variety of cells and tissues throughout the body. They are known as water channels, but they also facilitate the transport of small solutes, gasses, and monovalent cations. To date, 13 different AQPs, encoded by the genes AQP0–AQP12, have been identified in mammals, which regulate various important biological functions in kidney, brain, lung, digestive system, eye, and skin. Consequently, dysfunction of AQPs is involved in a wide variety of disorders. AQPs are also present in the heart, even with a specific distribution pattern in cardiomyocytes, but whether their presence is essential for proper (electro)physiological cardiac function has not intensively been studied. This review summarizes recent findings and highlights the involvement of AQPs in normal and pathological cardiac function. We conclude that AQPs are at least implicated in proper cardiac water homeostasis and energy balance as well as heart failure and arsenic cardiotoxicity. However, this review also demonstrates that many effects of cardiac AQPs, especially on excitation-contraction coupling processes, are virtually unexplored.

  • Ion Channels 3 1
    r r r Cell Signalling Biology Michael J. Berridge Module 3 Ion Channels 3 1 Module 3 Ion Channels Synopsis Ion channels have two main signalling functions: either they can generate second messengers or they can function as effectors by responding to such messengers. Their role in signal generation is mainly centred on the Ca2 + signalling pathway, which has a large number of Ca2+ entry channels and internal Ca2+ release channels, both of which contribute to the generation of Ca2 + signals. Ion channels are also important effectors in that they mediate the action of different intracellular signalling pathways. There are a large number of K+ channels and many of these function in different + aspects of cell signalling. The voltage-dependent K (KV) channels regulate membrane potential and + excitability. The inward rectifier K (Kir) channel family has a number of important groups of channels + + such as the G protein-gated inward rectifier K (GIRK) channels and the ATP-sensitive K (KATP) + + channels. The two-pore domain K (K2P) channels are responsible for the large background K current. Some of the actions of Ca2 + are carried out by Ca2+-sensitive K+ channels and Ca2+-sensitive Cl − channels. The latter are members of a large group of chloride channels and transporters with multiple functions. There is a large family of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters some of which have a signalling role in that they extrude signalling components from the cell. One of the ABC transporters is the cystic − − fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) that conducts anions (Cl and HCO3 )and contributes to the osmotic gradient for the parallel flow of water in various transporting epithelia.

  • Disease Mutations in the Ryanodine Receptor N-Terminal Region Couple to a Mobile Intersubunit Interface
    ARTICLE Received 1 Oct 2012 | Accepted 15 Jan 2013 | Published 19 Feb 2013 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms2501 OPEN Disease mutations in the ryanodine receptor N-terminal region couple to a mobile intersubunit interface Lynn Kimlicka1, Kelvin Lau1, Ching-Chieh Tung1 & Filip Van Petegem1 Ryanodine receptors are large channels that release Ca2 þ from the endoplasmic and sar- coplasmic reticulum. Hundreds of RyR mutations can cause cardiac and skeletal muscle disorders, yet detailed mechanisms explaining their effects have been lacking. Here we compare pseudo-atomic models and propose that channel opening coincides with widen- ing of a cytoplasmic vestibule formed by the N-terminal region, thus altering an interface targeted by 20 disease mutations. We solve crystal structures of several disease mutants that affect intrasubunit domain–domain interfaces. Mutations affecting intrasubunit ionic pairs alter relative domain orientations, and thus couple to surrounding interfaces. Buried disease mutations cause structural changes that also connect to the intersubunit contact area. These results suggest that the intersubunit contact region between N-terminal domains is a prime target for disease mutations, direct or indirect, and we present a model whereby ryanodine receptors and inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors are activated by altering domain arrangements in the N-terminal region. 1 Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Life Sciences Institute, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6T 1Z3.

  • Physiological and Pathophysiological Regulation of the Ryanodine Receptor in Skeletal Muscle
    Physiological and pathophysiological regulation of the ryanodine receptor in skeletal muscle Alisa Umanskaya Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Alisa Umanskaya All rights reserved Abstract Physiological and pathophysiological regulation of ryanodine receptor in skeletal muscle Alisa Umanskaya Ryanodine receptor calcium release channels are essential for skeletal muscle contraction, as they mediate the release of calcium ions from intracellular stores into the cytosol. The data presented in this dissertation demonstrate the evolutionarily conserved mechanisms of skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor regulation in the physiological and pathophysiological states. Adrenergic stimulation causes increased skeletal muscle force, however, despite the well- established role of this physiological response, the molecular mechanism is not known. Here we present a mechanism whereby phosphorylation of a single amino acid on the ryanodine receptor is a key signal in the physiological stress-induced inotropic response in mouse skeletal muscle. Therefore acute post-translational modifications of ryanodine receptor channels are important for healthy muscle contraction. Conversely, chronic stress-induced post-translational modifications result in poorly functioning murine ryanodine receptor channels that contribute to skeletal muscle dysfunction in age- dependent skeletal muscle weakness and Muscular Dystrophies. Finally, we present data that demonstrates striking evolutionary conservation in ryanodine receptor regulation in the physiological and pathophysiological states between mice and C. elegans. This work has broad implications for understanding the underlying mechanisms of skeletal muscle contraction and important disorders that affect human health. Furthermore, this works presents ryanodine receptor channels as a viable therapeutic target for age-related skeletal muscle weakness, Muscular Dystrophies, and also implicates C.

  • RYR2 Gene Ryanodine Receptor 2
    RYR2 gene ryanodine receptor 2 Normal Function The RYR2 gene provides instructions for making a protein called ryanodine receptor 2. This protein is part of a family of ryanodine receptors, which form channels that transport positively charged calcium atoms (calcium ions) within cells. Channels made with the ryanodine receptor 2 protein are found in heart (cardiac) muscle cells called myocytes. These channels are embedded in the outer membrane of a cell structure called the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which acts as a storage center for calcium ions. The RYR2 channel controls the flow of calcium ions out of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. For the heart to beat normally, the cardiac muscle must tense (contract) and relax in a coordinated way. This cycle of muscle contraction and relaxation results from the precise control of calcium ions within myocytes. In response to certain signals, the RYR2 channel releases calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the surrounding cell fluid (the cytoplasm). The resulting increase in calcium ion concentration triggers the cardiac muscle to contract, which pumps blood out of the heart. Calcium ions are then transported back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, and the cardiac muscle relaxes. In this way, the release and reuptake of calcium ions in myocytes produces a regular heart rhythm. Health Conditions Related to Genetic Changes Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia More than 200 mutations in the RYR2 gene have been found to cause catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), a heart condition characterized by an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia) during exercise or emotional stress, which can be fatal. Almost all of the RYR2 gene mutations involved in CPVT change single protein building blocks (amino acids) in the ryanodine receptor 2 protein.

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) MALAT1 plays a crucial role in neonatal respiratory diseases. Meanwhile, MALAT1 knockdown could induce viability and attenuate apoptosis of airway-related cells. However, the role of MALAT1 in neonatal asthma, asthma-related cell, and its possible mechanism is unclear. This study aims to investigate MALAT1 level in asthma and to identify the effects of MALAT1 on bronchial/tracheal smooth muscle cells (B/TSMCs). Newborn asthma modeling rat was constructed by introducing ovalbumin (OVA). MALAT1 levels in tissues or B/TSMCs were determined by RT-qPCR. Exogenous changes of MALAT1, RyR2 or miR-133a in B/TSMCs were fulfilled by cell transfection; cell apoptosis was measured by using Cell Death Detection ELISA kit and Hochest33342; IL-6, TNF-a and IL-1b level was detected by using corresponding ELISA kit; ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) mRNA and miR-133a level was determined by RT-qPCR; cleaved caspase-3 (c-caspase-3) and RyR2 expression was detected by Western blot; luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm the target regulation of miR-133a on RyR2.

Its early stages are less well described although these determine the later development. Hence, we tested the effect of repeated, short-term anthracycline (daunorubicin) administration on cardiac performance, cardiomyocyte function and accompanied changes in calcium regulating proteins expression. Ten-twelve weeks old male Wistar rats were administered with 6 doses of daunorubicin (DAU, 3 mg/kg, i.p., every 48 h), controls (CON) received vehicle. Left ventricular function (left ventricular pressure, LVP; rate of pressure de- velopment, +dP/dt and decline, -dP/dt) was measured using left ventricular catheterization under tribromethanol anaesthesia (15 ml/kg b.w.).
