A journey in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity with emphasizing on the role of Connexin 43 and Sirtuin-3
Cancer has become a major health problem worldwide. The reported incidence of new cancer cases is estimated at 19.3 million, with a mortality rate of 10 million in the world in 2020. There are some approaches for cancer treatment such as chemotherapy, neoadjuant surgery, hormone therapy, and radiotherapy. Chemotherapy is an aggressive form of chemical drug therapy meant to destroy rapidly growi...
متن کاملConnexin diversity in the heart: insights from transgenic mouse models
Cardiac conduction is mediated by gap junction channels that are formed by connexin (Cx) protein subunits. The connexin family of proteins consists of more than 20 members varying in their biophysical properties and ability to combine with other connexins into heteromeric gap junction channels. The mammalian heart shows regional differences both in connexin expression profile and in degree of e...
متن کاملDissection of two Cx37 independent-conducted vasodilator mechanisms by deletion of Cx40: electrotonic vs regenerative conduction
Conduction of changes in diameter plays an important role in the coordination of peripheral vascular resistance, and thereby, in the control of arterial blood pressure. It is thought that conduction of vasomotor signals relies on the electrotonic spread of changes in membrane potential from a site of stimulation through gap junctions connecting the cells of the vessel wall. To explore this idea...
متن کاملThe role of myocardial gap junctions in electrical conduction and arrhythmogenesis.
Electrical activation of the heart requires cell-cell transfer of current via gap junctions, arrays of densely packed protein channels that permit intercellular passage of ions and small molecules. Because current transfer occurs only at gap junctions, the spatial distribution and biophysical properties of gap junction channels are important determinants of the conduction properties of cardiac ...
متن کاملStaying connected without connexin43: can you hear me now?
As popular cellular telephone commercials suggest, we place considerable value on our ability to remain connected to our friends and neighbors. The same principals ring true in cardiovascular physiology. Connexin (Cx) proteins are located at cardiac gap junctions and form low resistance pathways for the intercellular spread of electrical excitation and small molecules.1 Within each cell, six co...
