背景情况:
- 位于咖啡因结合部位的RyR2 W4645R突变与catecholaminergic多态心室性心跳动 (CPVT1) 有关.
- 假设托残留物W4645通过影响咖啡因结合部位和炭基终端域之间的相互作用来调节RyR2 Ca2+敏感性.
研究的目的:
- 研究RyR2 Ca2+结合的调节作用及其与咖啡因结合部位的相互作用.
- 在人类诱导的多能干细胞干细胞衍生心肌细胞 (hiPSCCMs) 中描述W4645R-RyR2突变的Ca2+信号表型.
主要方法:
- 使用CRISPR/Cas9基因编辑,在hiPSCCM中引入W4645R-RyR2点突变.
- 在WT和W4645R-RyR2 hiPSCCMs之间的Ca2+信号表型的比较.
主要成果:
- W4645R-RyR2心肌细胞表现出正常的ICa,但减少了Ca2+诱导的Ca2+释放 (CICR) 和改变了Ca2+的短暂动力学.
- 由于增强的SR Ca2+泄漏,观察到咖啡因触发的Ca2+释放完全丧失,SR Ca2+含量减少40%.

The Retinoblastoma Gene
4.1K
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation
4.0K
The biological clock is involved in many aspects of regulating complex physiology in all animals. It was in 1935 when German zoologists, Hans Kalmus and Erwin Bünning, discovered the existence of circadian rhythm in Drosophila melanogaster. However, the internal molecular mechanisms behind the circadian clock remained a mystery until 1984, when Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W. Young discovered the expression of the Per gene oscillating over a 24-hour cycle. In subsequent...

Disturbances in Heart Rhythm
933
Arrhythmia or dysrhythmia refers to an abnormal heart rhythm caused by a defect in the heart's conduction system. It can cause the heart to beat irregularly, too quickly, or too slowly, leading to symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and fainting. Factors such as stress, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, certain drugs, congenital defects, diseases, and electrolyte abnormalities can trigger arrhythmias.
Arrhythmias are categorized by their speed, rhythm, and origin. A slow...
