Structure and function of cardiac pacemaker channels.
Cardiac pacemaking is controlled by a mixed Na(+)/K(+) current named I(f), which is activated by hyperpolarized membrane potentials. Recently, a family of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated cation (HCN) channels has been cloned. The members of this family exhibit the general features of I(f) channels. This review describes the molecular diversity of the HCN channel family and t...
متن کاملErosive Pressure Dermatitis Associated with Cardiac Pacemaker
Erosive dermatitis is a skin reaction associated with implantable cardiac devices (ie, pacemakers and cardioverter defibrillators). We report a 65-year-old man with a history of several cerebrovascular attacks who developed an erythematous crusted erosive patch over the pacemaker site after implantation of two subsequent pacemakers. We suggest that physical irritation may be a trigger factor fo...
متن کاملCaMKII-dependent phosphorylation regulates basal cardiac pacemaker function via modulation of local Ca2+ releases.
Spontaneous beating of the heart pacemaker, the sinoatrial node, is generated by sinoatrial node cells (SANC) due to gradual change of the membrane potential called diastolic depolarization (DD). Spontaneous, submembrane local Ca(2+) releases (LCR) from ryanodine receptors (RyR) occur during late DD and activate an inward Na(+)/Ca(2+)exchange current to boost the DD rate and fire an action pote...
متن کاملDevelopmental exposure to estradiol and bisphenol A increases susceptibility to prostate carcinogenesis and epigenetically regulates phosphodiesterase type 4 variant 4.
Early developmental perturbations have been linked to adult-onset prostate pathology, including excessive exposure to estrogenic compounds; however, the molecular basis for this imprinting event is not known. An important and controversial health concern is whether low-dose exposures to hormonally active environmental estrogens, such as bisphenol A, can promote human diseases, including prostat...
متن کاملType 5 phosphodiesterase regulates glioblastoma multiforme aggressiveness and clinical outcome
Expression of type 5 phosphodiesterase (PDE5), a cGMP-specific hydrolytic enzyme, is frequently altered in human cancer, but its specific role in tumorigenesis remains controversial. Herein, by analyzing a cohort of 69 patients affected by glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) who underwent chemo- and radiotherapy after surgical resection of the tumor, we found that PDE5 was strongly expressed in cance...
