Endothelial cells regulate cardiac contractility.
Endothelial cells lining the lumen of blood vessels contain the receptors for many substances that alter the contractile tone of smooth muscle in the walls of the blood vessels. In response to their interaction with the signal substances, the endothelial cells release vasoactive factors that modify the contractile state of the vascular smooth muscle. This study was conducted to determine if end...
متن کاملEndothelial cells regulate cardiac myocyte reorganisation through β1-integrin signalling.
BACKGROUND In normal hearts, capillaries are densely distributed throughout the myocardial tissue, and the cross-talk between myocytes and capillary endothelial cells plays a pivotal role in regulating cardiac development, maturation and function. Although previous studies have suggested a role for the endothelium in the organisation of nearby cardiomyocytes, the underlying mechanism has yet to...
متن کاملRecent Insights in the Paracrine Modulation of Cardiomyocyte Contractility by Cardiac Endothelial Cells
The cardiac endothelium is formed by a continuous monolayer of cells that line the cavity of the heart (endocardial endothelial cells (EECs)) and the luminal surface of the myocardial blood vessels (intramyocardial capillary endothelial cells (IMCEs)). EECs and IMCEs can exercise substantial control over the contractility of cardiomyocytes by releasing various factors such as nitric oxide (NO) ...
متن کاملCardiac endothelial cells modulate contractility of rat heart in response to oxygen tension and coronary flow.
The aim of this study was to determine if endothelial cells in the heart release substances into the coronary perfusion medium that modify the contractility of myocardial cells. To assay the effects on the contractility of cardiac muscle of fluid that has passed through the coronary vasculature, a new method has been developed based on the cascade principle used to study vascular smooth muscle ...
متن کاملHow Endothelial Cells Regulate Cardiomyocyte Growth
Pathological cardiac hypertrophy emerges in the mammalian heart during chronically increased workload (eg, arterial hypertension or aortic stenosis). Although it might in the short term help to compensate cardiac function, it predisposes to the development of heart failure in the long term. It is characterized by an increase in cardiomyocyte size and profound changes in gene expression and is a...
