血管钠肽抑制异丙肾上腺素增强的大鼠心肌细胞钙瞬变

采用光谱荧光法研究血管钠肽(vasonatrin peptide,VNP)对心肌细胞内钙瞬变的作用及其机制,观察钠尿肽鸟苷酸环化酶(guanylate cyclase,GC)受体的特异性阻断剂(HS-142-1)、8-溴-环磷酸鸟苷(8-Br-cGMP)和镁蓝(methylene blue,MB)对心肌细胞内钙瞬变的影响。结果显示,异丙肾上腺素(isoproterenol,Iso)(10~(-10)～10~(-6)mol/L)可剂量依赖性地引起心肌细胞内钙瞬变增强,相对于对照组分别增强(13±8)%(P>0.05)、(26±13)%(P<0.05)、(66±10)%(P<0.01)、(150±10)%(P<0.01)和(300±25)%(P<0.01)。此效应可被β肾上腺素受体阻断剂普萘洛尔(10~(-6)mol/L)所阻断。VNP(10~(-10)～10~(-6)mol/L)可剂量依赖性地抑制Iso(10~(-8)mol/L)引起的心肌细胞内钙瞬变幅值的升高,相对于Iso(10~(-8)mol/L)分别减弱(99±3)%(P>0.05)、(96±2)%(P<0.05)、(84±6)%(P<0.01)、(66±3)%(P<0.01)和(62±3)%(P<0.01)。8-Br-cGMP(10~(-7)～10~(-3)mol/L)也可剂量依赖性地抑制Iso(10~(-8)mol/L)引起心肌细胞内钙瞬变的增强。HS-142-1(2×10~(-5)mol/L)使VNP的作用几乎完全消失。MB是GC的抑制剂,10~(-5)mol/L MB不但使VNP的作用完全消失,而且增强Iso对心肌细胞内钙瞬变的效应。VNP和HS-142-1本身对心肌细胞内钙瞬变无显著影响。而MB使心     

白细胞介素-2降低缺氧/复氧心肌细胞对细胞内钙的处理能力

目的 :研究在正常和缺氧 /复氧过程中白细胞介素 2 (IL 2 )对心肌细胞收缩和细胞内钙的处理能力的影响。方法 :采用酶解分离大鼠心室肌细胞化学缺氧模型 ,用视频跟踪系统和细胞内双波长钙荧光系统检测单个心肌细胞收缩和细胞内钙的变化。结果 :①缺氧过程中 ,心肌细胞收缩被抑制 ,钙瞬变幅度降低、静息钙水平增高 ,咖啡因诱导的钙释放减少 ,但对细胞膜L -型钙通道活性无明显影响 ;复氧期间 ,各指标不能恢复到对照水平。②IL 2 (2× 10 5U/L)抑制心肌细胞收缩 ,使钙瞬变幅度降低、静息钙水平增高 ,使咖啡因诱导的钙释放减少。③在缺氧期间加入IL 2 (2× 10 5U/L)后 ,复氧期间各参数回复均减慢。结论 :缺氧时同时存在IL 2 ,可加剧复氧时心肌细胞收缩功能和钙处理能力的降低 ,这可能与心肌细胞肌浆网内贮钙释放减少有关。     

不饱和脂肪酸在低渗牵张加强豚鼠胃窦平滑肌细胞毒蕈碱电流中的作用

利用全细胞膜片钳技术在急性分离的胃窦平滑肌细胞上记录离子电流的方法 ,探讨外源性不饱和脂肪酸是否参与低渗牵张加强毒蕈碱电流的过程。在豚鼠胃窦平滑肌细胞上膜电位被钳制在 - 2 0 0mV等渗状态时 ,5 0 μmol/L卡巴胆碱 (carbachol,CCh)引起的毒蕈碱电流 (ICCh)作为对照 ,发现低渗牵张可以使ICCh明显增加到对照的 2 2 6 0±2 1 0 %。当用含 5 μmol花生四烯酸 (arachidacid ,AA)、亚麻酸 (linoleicacid ,LA)或亚油酸 (oleicacid,OA)细胞外液灌流时 ,ICCh分别被抑制在对照的 3 8± 0 6%、3 5 2± 0 8%和 66 6± 0 6%。在这种情况下 ,低渗牵张刺激可以使ICCh分别增加到 10 6 0± 2 5 %、173 2± 6 8%和 2 2 2 1± 11 0 %。 5 μmol/LAA抑制低渗牵张增加的毒蕈碱电流 5 1 2± 3 8% ,而在等渗状态下抑制ICCh为 96 2± 1 6%。上述结果提示 ,不饱和脂肪酸中双键数目越多 ,抑制效应越强 ;但不饱和脂肪酸不参与低渗刺激加强毒蕈碱电流的过程。     

低浓度双氢哇巴因对豚鼠心室肌细胞内游离钙浓度的影响

用激光共聚焦显微镜检查研究低浓度双氢哇巴因（DHO）对豚鼠心室肌细胞内钙浓度（[Ca^2 ]i)的影响。DHO 1fmol/L-1 mmol/L可增加心室肌细胞的[Ca^2 ]i,尤其以10pmol/L DHO为显著,Nisoldipine,EGTA或TTX可分别部分抑制10pmol/L DHO的作用,去除胞外K^ 和Na^ 后,上述作用仍存在,以上结果表明,低浓度DHO中通过激活钙通道和TTX敏感的钠通道,或许还可直接促进胞内钙释放来增加[Ca^2 ]i,并有不依赖Na^ /K^ 泵而升高[Ca^2 ]i的作用。

Negative inotropic effects of angiotensin II, endothelin-1 and phenylephrine in indo-1 loaded adult mouse ventricular myocytes

Angiotensin II (Ang II). endothelin-1 (ET-1) and phenylephrine are receptor agonists that share the signal transduction acting through acceleration of phosphoinositide hydrolysis in the heart. Because the regulation of myocardial contractility induced by these receptor agonists shows a wide range of species-dependent variation among experimental animals, we carried out experiments to elucidate the mechanism of contractile regulation induced by these agents in mice which are employed currently more as transgenic models. Effects of Ang II, ET-1 and phenylephrine on cell shortening and Ca2+ transients were investigated in single ventricular myocytes loaded with indo-1/AM. Ang II (10(-8), 10(-7) M), ET-1 (10(-10), 10(-9) M) and phenylephrine (10(-6), 10(-5) M in the presence of the beta-adrenoceptor antagonist timolol) decreased the cell shortening [Ang II: 58.4+/-9.03 (n = 8), 50.3+/-11.90% (n = 6); ET-1: 48.4+/-8.27, 31.2+/-6.45% (n = 5); phenylephrine: 45.7+/-11.60, 28.7+/-5.89% (n = 5)]. By contrast, the amplitude of Ca2+ transients was not significantly influenced by these agonists. The selective protein kinase C inhibitor chelerythrine at 10(-6) M significantly inhibited the decrease in cell shortening induced by these receptor agonists. These results indicate that Ang II, ET-1 and phenylephrine elicit a negative inotropic effect with insignificant alteration of Ca2+ transients, which may be mainly mediated by activation of protein kinase C in mouse ventricular cardiomyocytes.     

Effect of SIN-1 in rat ventricular myocytes: interference with beta-adrenergic stimulation

We have examined the effects of the nitric oxide (NO) donor, 3-morpholino-sydnonimine (SIN-1), on Ca(2+) transients, L-type Ca(2+) current (I(Ca,L)), and cGMP/cAMP content in electrically-stimulated rat ventricular myocytes in the absence and presence of the beta-adrenergic stimulation with isoproterenol. SIN-1 had no effect at low concentrations, but decreased the amplitude of electrically-induced Ca(2+) transients at higher concentrations. SIN-1 attenuated the increase in Ca(2+) transients induced by isoproterenol in a concentration-dependent manner. SIN-1 Also reduced the amplitude of caffeine-induced Ca(2+) transients, and the increase in I(Ca,L) induced by isoproterenol. These effects of SIN-1 were associated with an increased cGMP and a decreased cAMP content in ventricular myocytes in either the absence or presence of isoproterenol. These data suggest that the inhibitory effect of SIN-1 on basal and beta-adrenergic stimulated Ca2+ signal in ventricular myocytes could be due to the depression in the SR function and I(Ca,L), possibly mediated by a cGMP/cAMP-dependent mechanism. Taken together, the present study supports the idea that NO acts as an inhibitory modulator of the cardiac function during pathological conditions associated with an abnormal production of NO such as septic shock.
