Synthesis and regulation of catecholamine neurotransmitters in the central nervous system are implicated pathogenesis a number neuropsychiatric disorders. To identify factors that regulate presynaptic synthesis catecholamines, we tested hypothesis rate-limiting enzyme biosynthetic pathway, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), is locally synthesized axons nerve terminals noradrenergic neurons. isolate pure axonal mRNA protein, rat superior cervical ganglion sympathetic neurons were cultured...
IntroductionAs lung transplant candidates are older with increased comorbidities, we sought to examine the prevalence and outcomes of recipients after prior cardiac surgery.MethodsLung transplants were identified from United Network for Organ Sharing/Organ Procurement Transplantation Database. Patients stratified based on surgery (No Surgery [NS], Prior coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG], Valve [Valve]). Unadjusted comparisons performed amongst all groups, propensity matching was...
Background: The cardiac dyad is composed of the transverse-tubules, junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (jSR), and its associated calcium (Ca 2+ ) release units, which are integral for excitation-contraction (E-C). Proper E-C coupling requires Ca influx via L-type channels (LTCC) triggers from adjacent ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) receptors located in jSR. Loss βII-spectrin scaffolding protein alters RyR2 localization; however, contribution to organization remains unclear. Hypothesis: We...
Background: Dysregulation of cardiac cytoskeletal proteins such as βII-spectrin has been recognized to promote accelerated heart failure (HF) and arrhythmias in human mouse models. However, the mechanism by which dysregulation underlies HF is poorly understood. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that cardiomyocyte loss leads recruitment inflammatory macrophages augment remodeling promoting arrhythmogenesis increased susceptibility HF. Methods: Cardiomyocyte-specific knockout (βII-cKO) control mice...
Background: The cardiac dyad and associated calcium (Ca 2+ ) release units (CRUs) are integral for excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling. is a multicomponent complex composed of the transverse-tubules, junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (jSR), CRU-associated proteins. Proper E-C coupling requires Ca influx via long-lasting-L-type channels (Cav1.2), which triggers from adjacent ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) located in jSR. βII-spectrin loss alters RyR2 localization, but its contribution to...
