Synthetic strands of neonatal mouse cardiac myocytes: structural and electrophysiological properties.
The aim of the present study was to morphologically and electrically characterize synthetic strands of mouse ventricular myocytes. Linear strands of mouse ventricular myocytes with widths of 34.7+/-4.4 microm (W(1)), 57.9+/-2.5 microm (W(2)), and 86.4+/-3. 6 microm (W(3)) and a length of 10 mm were produced on glass coverslips with a photolithographic technique. Action potentials (APs) were mea...
متن کاملImpulse propagation in synthetic strands of neonatal cardiac myocytes with genetically reduced levels of connexin43.
Connexin43 (Cx43) is a major determinant of the electrical properties of the myocardium. Closure of gap junctions causes rapid slowing of propagation velocity (theta), but the precise effect of a reduction in Cx43 levels due to genetic manipulation has only partially been clarified. In this study, morphological and electrical properties of synthetic strands of cultured neonatal ventricular myoc...
متن کاملSynthetic Strands of Cardiac Muscle
Spontaneously active bundles of cardiac muscle (synthetic strands) were prepared from isolated cells of 11-13-day old embryonic chick hearts which were disaggregated with trypsin. Linear orientation of the cells was obtained by plating them on agar-coated culture dishes in which either grooves were cut in the agar film or a thin line of palladium was deposited over the agar. The influence of ce...
متن کاملNeonatal Rat Cardiac Myocytes
This study tested the hypothesis that the initiating mechanism is a major determinant of the response to calcium (Ca) accumulation in myocardium. Cultured neonatal rat ventriculocytes were exposed to Na', K+ pump inhibition with 1 mM ouabain and metabolic inhibition with 20 mM 2-deoxy--glucose and 1 mM cyanide (DOG-CN) for up to 2 h. Microspectrofluorometry of myocytes loaded with fura-2 showed...
متن کاملNeonatal, and Adult Rabbit Cardiac Myocytes
Measurement of transsarcolemmal voltage-gated Ca2' current ('Ca) in myocytes isolated from immature rabbit heart has demonstrated an unexpectedly low level of Ca2` channel activity. We have characterized the kinetic properties of lCa in acutely isolated 21-day fetal, 1-5-day-old neonatal, and adult cardiac myocytes by the whole-cell voltage-clamp technique. The membrane potential for half-maxim...
