ABSTRACT: This a model from the article: Ionic mechanisms underlying human atrial action potential properties: insights from a mathematical model. Courtemanche M, Ramirez RJ, Nattel S. Am J Physiol 1998 Jul;275(1 Pt 2):H301-21 9688927 , Abstract: The mechanisms underlying many important properties of the human atrial action potential (AP) are poorly understood. Using specific formulations of the K+, Na+, and Ca2+ currents based on data recorded from human atrial myocytes, along with representations of pump, exchange, and background currents, we developed a mathematical model of the AP. The model AP resembles APs recorded from human atrial samples and responds to rate changes, L-type Ca2+ current blockade, Na+/Ca2+ exchanger inhibition, and variations in transient outward current amplitude in a fashion similar to experimental recordings. Rate-dependent adaptation of AP duration, an important determinant of susceptibility to atrial fibrillation, was attributable to incomplete L-type Ca2+ current recovery from inactivation and incomplete delayed rectifier current deactivation at rapid rates. Experimental observations of variable AP morphology could be accounted for by changes in transient outward current density, as suggested experimentally. We conclude that this mathematical model of the human atrial AP reproduces a variety of observed AP behaviors and provides insights into the mechanisms of clinically important AP properties.

Project description:Obscurins are giant, modular, cytoskeletal proteins that regulate striated muscle structure and function. Immunoglobulin domains 58/59 (Ig58/59) of obscurin interact with diverse proteins including titin variants and phospholamban. Mutations within Ig58/59 that alter these binding interactions have been linked to the development of myopathy in humans, underscoring the pathophysiological significance of this module. We previously generated a constitutive deletion mouse model, Obscn-ΔIg58/59, that expresses obscurin lacking Ig58/59 and comprehensively characterized the effects of this deletion on cardiac morphology and function through aging. Our findings demonstrated that Obscn-ΔIg58/59 male animals develop severe arrhythmia characterized by spontaneous atrial fibrillation/junctional escape by 6-months of age, with atrial enlargement and ventricular remodeling manifesting by 12-months. Herein, we aim to mechanistically evaluate the impact of the Ig58/59 deletion in atria at the cellular level and determine the molecular basis for atrial enlargement and arrhythmia due to the physiological process of aging. Ultrastructural evaluation of sedentary aging male Obscn-ΔIg58/59 atria revealed prominent Z-disk streaming and misalignment. More importantly, Obscn-ΔIg58/59 atrial cardiomyocytes exhibited increased Ca2+ spark frequency and age-specific alterations in Ca2+ cycling kinetics and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ content that preceded those observed in Obscn-ΔIg58/59 ventricular cardiomyocytes. Proteomic and phospho-proteomic analyses revealed extensive and novel alterations in the expression and phosphorylation profile of major cytoskeletal proteins, Ca2+ regulators, and Z-disk associated protein complexes in Obscn-ΔIg58/59 atria through aging that likely underlie the observed atrial pathologies. These studies are the first to evaluate the role of obscurin in atria and to reveal chamber-specific molecular alterations due to Ig58/59 deletion. Moreover, our findings provide new molecular insights into a genetic model of spontaneous atrial fibrillation and remodeling where atrial dysfunction precedes ventricular maladaptation.

Project description:The nephrotoxic ifosfamide-metabolite chloroacetaldehyde (CAA) induces changes in intracellular Ca2+-concentration of human RPTEC. This effect is due to a PKA-dependent inhibition of Na+/Ca2+ exchange (Benesic, A., Schwerdt, G. at. al. (2005) Kidney Int 68, 2029-2041). Thus, possible effects of CAA-exposure on cAMP and Ca2+ regulated genes as well the Ca2+/NFAT pathway were investigated by cDNA-microarray analysis. Both microarrays (cAMP/Ca2+ and Ca2+(NFAT) were performed twice. After 24 h CAA exposure a marked downregulation of c-fos and junB was observed in all arrays performed. In the cAMP/Ca2+-arrays downregulation of FOS, ADRB1, INHBA, CDK5, IL2, PLN, SRF, GCG, SGK, JUNB, BDNF, S100A6, CCNA1, MIF, HK2, SST and EGR2 by CAA was observed in two independent experiments. From the AP-1 family expression of junD and fosB were not altered. Overexpression by CAA of CREB and DDIT3 were only observed in one of two experiments. JUND, FOSB, FOSL1, CREM and CREBBP expression was not influenced in reproducible manner, as well as all members of the NFAT-family. In the Ca2+/NFAT-Arrays, PPP3CB, VAV3, NFATC1, IL8, IL6, FASLG, IL3, IFNB1, FOS, BCL2, EGR3, CD3G, HRAS, EP300, IL4, CALM3, RELA, EGR2, NPPB, IFNG, NFATC4, KPNA5, CAMK2BNFKB2 , VEGF, IL8RA, IL2,GATA4, MEF2A, PTPRC, ICOS, NFKBIE, CDKN1A, CSNK2B, ACTB, MEF2B and JUNB mRNA´s were repeatedly reduced by CAA exposure. The only gene with upregulation in both experiments was found to be IFN-alpha. Thus CAA exposure for 24 h leads to a downregulation of of the AP-1 members JUNB and FOS, whereas there is small positive effect on CREB mRNA. CAA reproducibly lowers the expression of IL-2, 3, 4, 6 and 8, whereas the levels of TNFalpha and TGFbeta1 and 3 mRNA were not altered. IFN-alpha mRNA levels were reproducibly increased (>2-fold). In conclusion, CAA seems to interact with Ca2+ and cAMP signalling pathways, with a strong impact on AP-1 proteins and inflammatory signalling. Keywords: stress response to toxic agent

Project description:This the model describing the action potentials of the peripheral rabbit sinoatrial node from the article: Mathematical models of action potentials in the periphery and center of the rabbit sinoatrial node. Mathematical models of action potentials in the periphery and center of the rabbit sinoatrial node. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol. 2000 Jul;279(1):H397-421. Pubmed ID: 10899081 , full text at AJP - Heart and Circulatory Physiology. Abstract: Mathematical models of the action potential in the periphery and center of the rabbit sinoatrial (SA) node have been developed on the basis of published experimental data. Simulated action potentials are consistent with those recorded experimentally: the model-generated peripheral action potential has a more negative takeoff potential, faster upstroke, more positive peak value, prominent phase 1 repolarization, greater amplitude, shorter duration, and more negative maximum diastolic potential than the model-generated central action potential. In addition, the model peripheral cell shows faster pacemaking. The models behave qualitatively the same as tissue from the periphery and center of the SA node in response to block of tetrodotoxin-sensitive Na(+) current, L- and T-type Ca(2+) currents, 4-aminopyridine-sensitive transient outward current, rapid and slow delayed rectifying K(+) currents, and hyperpolarization-activated current. A one-dimensional model of a string of SA node tissue, incorporating regional heterogeneity, coupled to a string of atrial tissue has been constructed to simulate the behavior of the intact SA node. In the one-dimensional model, the spontaneous action potential initiated in the center propagates to the periphery at approximately 0.06 m/s and then into the atrial muscle at 0.62 m/s. This model was taken from the CellML repository and automatically converted to SBML.
