Defective cardiac mechanical activity in diabetes results from alterations in intracellular Ca2+ handling, in part, due to increased oxidative stress. Beta-blockers demonstrate marked beneficial effects in heart dysfunction with scavenging free radicals and/or acting as an antioxidant. The aim of this study was to address how β-blocker timolol-treatment of diabetic rats exerts cardioprotection. Timolol-treatment (12-week), one-week following diabetes induction, prevented diabetes-induced depressed left ventricular basal contractile activity, prolonged cellular electrical activity, and attenuated the increase in isolated-cardiomyocyte size without hyperglycemic effect. Both in vivo and in vitro timolol-treatment of diabetic cardiomyocytes prevented the altered kinetic parameters of Ca2+ transients and reduced Ca2+ loading of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), basal intracellular free Ca2+ and Zn2+ ([Ca2+]i and [Zn2+]i), and spatio-temporal properties of the Ca2+ sparks, significantly. Timolol also antagonized hyperphosphorylation of cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2), and significantly restored depleted protein levels of both RyR2 and calstabin2. Western blot analysis demonstrated that timolol-treatment also significantly normalized depressed levels of some [Ca2+]i-handling regulators, such as Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) and phospho-phospholamban (pPLN) to PLN ratio. Incubation of diabetic cardiomyocytes with 4-mM glutathione exerted similar beneficial effects on RyR2-macromolecular complex and basal levels of both [Ca2+]i and [Zn2+]i, increased intracellular Zn2+ hyperphosphorylated RyR2 in a concentration-dependent manner. Timolol also led to a balanced oxidant/antioxidant level in both heart and circulation and prevented altered cellular redox state of the heart. We thus report, for the first time, that the preventing effect of timolol, directly targeting heart, seems to be associated with a normalization of macromolecular complex of RyR2 and some Ca2+ handling regulators, and prevention of Ca2+ leak, and thereby normalization of both [Ca2+]i and [Zn2+]i homeostasis in diabetic rat heart, at least in part by controlling the cellular redox status of hyperglycemic cardiomyocytes. 相似文献

New secondary benzenesulphonamide-substituted coumarylthiazole derivatives were synthesized and their inhibitory effects on purified carbonic anhydrase I and II were evaluated using CO2 as a substrate. The result showed that all the synthesized compounds exhibited inhibitory activity on both hCA I and hCA II with N-(4-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)thiazol-2-yl)naphthalene-2-sulphonamide (5f, IC50 value of 5.63 and 8.48?µM, against hCA I and hCA II, respectively) as the strongest inhibitor revealed from this study. Structure–activity relationship revealed that the inhibitory activity of the synthesized compounds is related to the type of the halogen and bulky substituent on the phenyl ring. In addition, the cupric reducing antioxidant capacities (CUPRAC) and ABTS cation radical scavenging abilities of the synthesized compounds were assayed. 4-methoxy-N-(4-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)thiazol-2-yl)benzenesulphonamide (5e) exhibited the strongest ABTS and CUPRAC activity with IC50 value of 48.83?µM and A0.50 value of 23.29?µM, respectively. 相似文献

Role of β3-AR dysregulation, as either cardio-conserving or cardio-disrupting mediator, remains unknown yet. Therefore, we examined the molecular mechanism of β3-AR activation in depressed myocardial contractility using a specific agonist CL316243 or using β3-AR overexpressed cardiomyocytes. Since it has been previously shown a possible correlation between increased cellular free Zn2+ ([Zn2+]i) and depressed cardiac contractility, we first demonstrated a relation between β3-AR activation and increased [Zn2+]i, parallel to the significant depolarization in mitochondrial membrane potential in rat ventricular cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, the increased [Zn2+]i induced a significant increase in messenger RNA (mRNA) level of β3-AR in cardiomyocytes. Either β3-AR activation or its overexpression could increase cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) levels, in line with significant changes in nitric oxide (NO)-pathway, including increases in the ratios of pNOS3/NOS3 and pGSK-3β/GSK-3β, and PKG expression level in cardiomyocytes. Although β3-AR activation induced depression in both Na+- and Ca2+-currents, the prolonged action potential (AP) seems to be associated with a marked depression in K+-currents. The β3-AR activation caused a negative inotropic effect on the mechanical activity of the heart, through affecting the cellular Ca2+-handling, including its effect on Ca2+-leakage from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Our cellular level data with β3-AR agonism were supported with the data on high [Zn2+]i and β3-AR protein-level in metabolic syndrome (MetS)-rat heart. Overall, our present data can emphasize the important deleterious effect of β3-AR activation in cardiac remodeling under pathological condition, at least, through a cross-link between β3-AR activation, NO-signaling, and [Zn2+]i pathways. Moreover, it is interesting to note that the recovery in ER-stress markers with β3-AR agonism in hyperglycemic cardiomyocytes is favored. Therefore, how long and to which level the β3-AR agonism would be friend or become foe remains to be mystery, yet. 相似文献

Hair testing for drugs of abuse is a developing technology, which offers the possibility of longer detection times than is commonly obtained with urine analysis. It is the main method for evaluation of an individual's drugs of abuse history. In many countries hair analysis is routinely used to detect drug abuse in forensic cases, occupational and traffic medicine and clinical toxicology. Hair analysis in pregnant women, neonates and infants is a useful tool for the detection of drug exposure in utero. In Croatia hair testing for drugs of abuse is performed at the Institute for Medical Research and Occupational Health. Three-year experience in drugs of abuse analysis in hair is described. In 331 hair samples (270 from adolescents and 61 from adults) opiates and metabolites, cocaine, methadone, and amphetamines were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Most prevalent drugs of abuse in adolescents were amphetamines, and in adults heroin. From the examples cited and samples analyzed it is evident that hair testing is emerging as a reliable biological marker for cumulative account of individual exposure to drugs of abuse. 相似文献

Selenium is known to play an important role in the physiology of many different cell types and extracellular application of
selenite causes cellular dysfunction in many different types of tissues. In a previous study, we have shown that in rat ventricles,
sodium selenite (≥1 mM) caused an increase in the resting tension and a decrease in contractile force, in a time-dependent manner. In the present
study, we have shown that sodium selenite caused a contracture state both in Langendorff perfused hearts and isolated papillary
muscles. We also showed that the application of extracellular ATP (0.1 mM) markedly reduced this detrimental effect of sodium selenite on ventricular contraction in Langendorff perfused hearts and
delayed it in isolated papillary muscle preparations. In contrast, isoproterenol (0.1 μM) did not seem to influence this action of sodium selenite in papillary muscle preparations. Possible reasons for this protective
effect of ATP to selenite-induced contracture are also discussed. 相似文献

Oxidative DNA base damage, antioxidant enzyme activities and selenium status in highly iodine-deficient goitrous children 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The objective of this study was to investigate oxidative DNA damage, and the levels of antioxidant enzymes (AOE) and selenium (Se) in relation to iodine deficiency and/or goiter in children. The study was performed in a group of goitrous high school children (15-18 years of age) ( n =14) with severe or moderate iodine deficiency. Thyroid hormones (TSH, FT 4 , TT 4 , FT 3 , TT 3 ), urinary iodine (UI) and plasma Se levels, and erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities were determined and compared with those of a control group consisting of non-goitrous high school children ( n =14) with normal UI levels or mild iodine deficiency. In the goitrous group, concentrations of FT 4 , TT 4 , plasma Se and UI, and activities of GSHPx and SOD were found to be significantly lower. Six typical hydroxyl radical-induced base lesions in genomic DNA of peripheral blood were identified and quantified by gas chromatography/isotope-dilution mass spectrometry (GC/IDMS), and higher levels of DNA base lesions were observed in the goitrous group. The results suggest that highly iodine-deficient goitrous children may be under oxidative stress, which may lead to greater level of oxidative damage to DNA. This study supports the evidence for the reported relationship between iodine deficiency and the increased incidence of thyroid malignancies. 相似文献

The whole-cell voltage-clamp technique was applied to isolated ventricular myocytes to investigate the effects of extracellular
and intracellular zinc application on L-type Ca2+ channel currents (I
Ca). Extracellular zinc exposure at micromolar concentration induced a reversible (with washout of ZnCl2) reduction (30%) of I
Ca with no change in current-voltage relationship. On the other hand, an increase of intracellular free-zinc concentration,
[Zn2+]i, from normal (less than 1 nM) to approx 7 nM with 10 μM Zn-pyrithione exposure caused an inhibition of 33±6% in the peak of the I
Ca and altered the voltage dependency of L-type Ca2+ channels with a 10-mV left shift and a hump at around −40 mV in its current-voltage relation. In contrast, N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine (TPEN) strongly inhibited the I
Ca (42±2%), with only a small but detectable outward shift of the holding current measured at the end of the pulses. Zn-pyrithione
and TPEN caused a reproducible decrease of the I
Ca. Interestingly, TPEN application, without Zn-pyrithione pretreatment, inhibited the I
Ca (35±2%) with no change in voltage dependency. Taken together, the results suggest that both extracellular and intracellular
zinc increases under pathological conditions in cardiomyocytes can alter the I
Ca, but their effects are not in the same order and same manner. One should consider these possible side effects when it is
suggested to be vital to cardiovascular cell integrity and functions. 相似文献
