Electrophysiological properties of cardiomyocytes isolated from CYP2J2 transgenic mice.
CYP2J2 is abundant in cardiac tissue and active in the biosynthesis of eicosanoids such as epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). To determine the effects of CYP2J2 and its eicosanoid products in the heart, we characterized the electrophysiology of single cardiomyocytes isolated from adult transgenic (Tr) mice with cardiac-specific overexpression of CYP2J2. CYP2J2 Tr cardiomyocytes had a shortened a...
متن کاملElectrophysiological coupling of transplanted cardiomyocytes.
The recent advances in stem cell biology and tissue engineering have paved the way to the development of a new field in biomedicine, regenerative medicine. This approach seeks to circumvent the shortage of organs for transplantation, by combining the above-mentioned technologies in an attempt to replace diseased or absent tissue. The heart represents an attractive candidate for these emerging t...
متن کاملEnhancement of Cardiac L-Type Ca Currents in Transgenic Mice with Cardiac-Specific Overexpression of CYP2J2
CYP2J2 is abundant in cardiomyocytes and is involved in the metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which affect multiple cell functions. In this study, we investigated the effect of overexpression of CYP2J2 on cardiac L-type Ca currents (ICa) in adult transgenic mice. Cardiac-specific overexpression of CYP2J2 was achieved using the -myosin heavy chain promoter....

CYP2J2 is abundant in cardiomyocytes and is involved in the metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which affect multiple cell functions. In this study, we investigated the effect of overexpression of CYP2J2 on cardiac L-type Ca2+ currents (ICa) in adult transgenic mice. Cardiac-specific overexpression of CYP2J2 was achieved using the alpha-myosin heavy chain pr...
متن کاملEffect of Artemisia absinthium on electrophysiological properties of isolated heart of rats
Introduction: Treatment of supraventricular arrhythmia includes wide range of medical interventions. Herbal remedies are suitable alternatives for synthetic drugs due to their availability, minimal side effects and lower price. Pharmacological studies and traditional medical literature point to the cardiovascular effects of the Artemisia absinthium L. from Compositae family of plants. Meth...
