Sertraline is a commonly used antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) class. In these experiments, we have used the whole cell patch clamp technique to examine the effects of sertraline on the major cardiac ion channels expressed in HEK293 cells and the native voltage-gated Ca2＋ channels in rat ventricular myocytes. According to the results, sertraline is a potent blocker of cardiac K＋ channels, such as hERG, IKs and IK1. The rank order of inhibitory potency was... -

We carried out a series of experiment demonstrating the role of mitochondria in the cytosolic and mitochondrial Ca2＋ transients and compared the results with those from computer simulation. In rat ventricular myocytes, increasing the rate of stimulation (1∼3 Hz) made both the diastolic and systolic [Ca2＋] bigger in mitochondria as well as in cytosol. As L-type Ca2＋ channel has key influence on the amplitude of Ca2＋-induced Ca2＋ release, the relation between stimulus frequency and the... -
Fucoidan Enhances the Survival and Sustains the Number of Splenic Dendritic Cells in Mouse Endotoxemia

Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide derived from brown algae that has been reported to perform multiple biological activities, including immunostimulation. In this study, we investigated whether fucoidan has beneficial effects on endotoxemia induced by LPS, a septic model in mice. The focus of this study was on survival rates and spleen function of the mice upon treatment. We found that fucoidan had prophylactic effects on the survival rate of mice with endotoxemia. Flow cytometric analysis... -

This study demonstrates the ability of magnolol, a hydroxylated biphenyl compound isolated from Magnolia officinalis, to inhibit LPS-induced expression of iNOS gene and activation of NF-ՊB/Rel in RAW 264.7 cells. Immunohisto-chemical staining of iNOS and Western blot analysis showed magnolol to inhibit iNOS gene expression. Reporter gene assay and electrophoretic mobility shift assay showed that magnolol inhibited NF-ՊB/Rel transcriptional activation and DNA binding, respectively.... -
Mechanical Stretch-Induced Protection against Myocardial Ischemia- Reperfusion Injury Involves AMP-Activated Protein Kinase

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) protects various tissues and cells from ischemic insults and is activated by many stimuli including mechanical stretch. Therefore, this study investigated if the activation of AMPK is involved in stretch-induced cardioprotection (SIC). Intraventricular balloon and aorto-caval shunt (ACS) were used to stretch rat hearts ex vivo and in vivo, respectively. Stretch preconditioning reduced myocardial infarct induced by ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) and improved... -
Diclofenac, a Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug, Inhibits L-type Ca2＋ Channels in Neonatal Rat Ventricular Cardiomyocytes
OlegV.Yarishkin, EunMiHwang, DonggyuKim, JaeChealYoo, SangSooKang, DeokRyoungKim, Jae-Hee-JungShin, Hye-JooChung, Ho-SangJeong, DawonKang 대한생리학회-대한약리학회 The Korean Journal of Physiology & Pharmacology 6 Pages

A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) has many adverse effects including cardiovascular (CV) risk. Diclofenac among the nonselective NSAIDs has the highest CV risk such as congestive heart failure, which resulted commonly from the impaired cardiac pumping due to a disrupted excitation- contraction (E-C) coupling. We investigated the effects of diclofenac on the L-type calcium channels which are essential to the E-C coupling at the level of single ventricular myocytes isolated from... -
Inhibition of Arterial Myogenic Responses by a Mixed Aqueous Extract of Salvia Miltiorrhiza and Panax Notoginseng (PASEL) Showing Antihypertensive Effects

The dried roots of Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza) and Sanchi (Panax notoginseng) have been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for promoting blood circulation as well as various other bodily functions. Here we investigated the effects of a mixture of aqueous extracts of Danshen and Sanchi, named PASEL, on blood pressure and vascular contractility in rats. Orally administered PASEL (62.5 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg, for 5 weeks) lowered the blood pressure of spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR) but... -

대한생리학회-대한약리학회 The Korean Journal of Physiology & Pharmacology 2009, Vol.13 No.3 8 189-194 (6 pages)
This study was designed to clarify the mechanism of the inhibitory effect of forskolin on contraction, cytosolic Ca2＋ level ([Ca2＋]i), and Ca2＋ sensitivity in guinea pig ileum. Forskolin (0.1 nM∼10ՌM) inhibited high K＋ (25 mM and 40 mM)- or histamine (3ՌM)-evoked contractions in a concentration- dependent manner. Histamine-evoked contractions were more sensitive to forskolin than high K＋- evoked contractions. Spontaneous changes in [Ca2＋]i and contractions were inhibited by... -

a recent mathematical model of rat atrial myocytes which had been established to reproduce cellular activities such as the action potential, Ca2＋ transients, and contractile force. The incorporation of SACs into the mathematical model, based on experimental results, successfully reproduced the repetitive firing of spontaneous action potentials by stretch. The induced automaticity was composed of two phases. The early phase was driven by increased background conductance of voltage-gated Na＋... -

[Ca2+]i transients by reverse mode of cardiac Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX1) were recorded in fura-2 loaded BHK cells with stable expression of NCX1. Repeated stimulation of reverse NCX1 produced a long-lasting decrease of Ca2+ transients ('rundown'). Rundown of NCX1 was independent of membrane PIP2 depletion. Although the activation of protein kinase C (PKC) was observed during the Ca2+ transients, neither a selective PKC inhibitor (calphostin C) nor a PKC activator (PMA) changed the degrees of...
