The effect of high buffer cardioplegia and secondary cardioplegia on cardiac preservation and postischemic functional recovery: a 31P NMR and functional study in Langendorff perfused pig hearts.

High buffer cardioplegia may provide protection against ischemic damage by reducing the extent of intracellular acidosis. Secondary cardioplegia may improve postischemic recovery by restoration of high energy phosphates, ionic gradients, and intracellular pH. To test these hypotheses, pig hearts were arrested with high buffer (150 mM MOPS) cardioplegia or modified St. Thomas' solution II and then kept ischemic at 12 degrees C for 8 h. High energy phosphates and intracellular pH were followed during the period of ischemia, using 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and functional recovery was followed during reperfusion. The hearts arrested by high buffer cardioplegia showed significantly higher intracellular pH than hearts preserved with St. Thomas' solution, but there were no significant differences in high energy phosphates. There were no significant differences in functional recovery. We found, however, that secondary cardioplegia abolished ventricular fibrillation, and resulted in improved functional recovery after 8 h of ischemic preservation compared with the hearts reperfused with Krebs-Henseleit solution alone. Our results suggest that despite attenuating the decreases in intracellular pH, high buffer cardioplegia does not improve recovery following 8 h of preservation at 12 degrees C. Secondary cardioplegia reduces the incidence of ventricular fibrillation and improves postischemic functional recovery of the myocardium.

Mechanism of adenylate kinase. Are the essential lysines essential?

Using site-specific mutagenesis, we have probed the structural and functional roles of lysine-21 and lysine-27 of adenylate kinase (AK) from chicken muscle expressed in Escherichia coli. The two residues were chosen since according to the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) model [Mildvan, A. S., & Fry, D. C. (1987) Adv. Enzymol. 58, 241-313], they are located near the alpha- and the gamma-phosphates, respectively, of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) in the AK-MgATP complex. In addition, a lysine residue (Lys-21 in the case of AK) along with a glycine-rich loop is considered "essential" in the catalysis of kinases and other nucleotide binding proteins. The Lys-27 to methionine (K27M) mutant showed only slight increases in kcat and Km, but a substantial increase (1.8 kcal/mol) in the free energy of unfolding, relative to the WT AK. For proper interpretation of the steady-state kinetic data, viscosity-dependent kinetics was used to show that the chemical step is partially rate-limiting in the catalysis of AK. Computer modeling suggested that the folded form of K27M could gain stability (relative to the wild type) via hydrophobic interactions of Met-27 with Val-179 and Phe-183 and/or formation of a charge-transfer complex between Met-27 and Phe-183. The latter was supported by an upfield shift of the methyl protons of Met-27 in 1H NMR. Other than this, the 1H NMR spectrum of K27M is very similar to that of WT, suggesting little perturbation in the global or even local conformations.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Enthalpic and entropic contributions to actin stability: calorimetry, circular dichroism, and fluorescence study and effects of calcium

The delta H associated with the thermal unfolding of G-actin has been determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to be 142 +/- 5 kcal/mol, with the Tm (melting temperature) at 57.2 +/- 0.5 degrees C, at pH 8.0 (heating rate 0.5 K/min). The transition is broad and cannot be treated as a single transition that mimics a two-state process, suggesting the existence of domains. Deconvolution is done to fit it into two quasi-independent two-state transitions. For F-actin, the transition is more cooperative, with a cooperative ratio (the ratio of van't Hoff enthalpy and calorimetric enthalpy) of 1.4, indicating intermonomer interaction. The delta H of the thermal unfolding of F-actin is 162 +/- 10 kcal/mol with a Tm at 67.0 +/- 0.5 degrees C. A state of G-actin similar to that of the heat-denatured form, designated D-actin, is obtained by removing tightly bound Ca2+ with EGTA. The DSC-detectable cooperative transition is completely lost when the free calcium concentration of the medium is 1 x 10(-11) M or lower, using a Ca2+/EGTA buffer system. However, circular dichroism (CD) shows that the helix content of actin, 32% in the G-form, is only partially reduced to 19% in this apo form. The CD spectrum and the helix content of the calcium-depleted actin are almost identical with those of the heat-denatured D form. This loss of 40% of the native helical content is irreversible in both cases. The remaining 60% of the native helical content cannot be further eliminated by heating to 95 degrees C.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

YAP regulates periodontal ligament cell differentiation into myofibroblast interacted with RhoA/ROCK pathway

During orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) receive the mechanical stimuli and transform it into myofibroblasts (Mfbs). Indeed, previous studies have demonstrated that mechanical stimuli can promote the expression of Mfb marker α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in PDLCs. Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), as the target gene of yes-associated protein (YAP), has been proven to be involved in this process. Here, we sought to assess the role of YAP in Mfbs differentiation from PDLCs. The time-course expression of YAP and α-SMA was manifested in OTM model in vivo as well as under tensional stimuli in vitro. Inhibition of RhoA/Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) pathway using Y27632 significantly reduced tension-induced Mfb differentiation and YAP expression. Moreover, overexpression of YAP with lentiviral transfection in PDLCs rescued the repression effect of Mfb differentiation induced by Y27632. These data together suggest a crucial role of YAP in regulating tension-induced Mfb differentiation from PDLC interacted with RhoA/ROCK pathway.
