IRIS – Institutional Research Information System
IRIS è il sistema di gestione della ricerca dell’Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca.Il repository BOA è il modulo del sistema dedicato alla raccolta e alla disseminazione della produzione scientifica di Ateneo. Le pubblicazioni sono ricercabili per parola chiave attraverso il box nella barra orizzontale in alto oppure, mediante il pulsante Sfoglia, per "Afferenza", "Autore", "Titolo", "Tipologia" o "Settore scientifico-disciplinare".
IRIS contiene inoltre alcuni moduli dedicati alla registrazione dei progetti e dei contratti, e alla reportistica avanzata per le attività di valutazione della ricerca
EnglishOBJECTIVE: To gain some insight on the lesser arrhythmogenic properties of PST2744 [(E,Z)-3-((2-aminoethoxy)imino)androstane-6,17-dione hydrochloride] compared with digoxin, we compared modulation of intracellular Ca2+ dynamics by the two agents. METHODS: SERCA (sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase) activity and Ca2+ leak rate were measured in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles from guinea pig ventricles. Membrane current, intracellular Ca2+, and twitch amplitude were evaluated in guinea pig ventricular myocytes with or without blockade of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. RESULTS: In SR vesicles, PST2744 (30-300 nM), but not digoxin, increased SERCA activity; digoxin only (> or =0.1 nM) increased SR Ca2+ leak. In myocytes with blocked Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, Ca2+ reloading of caffeine-depleted SR was enhanced by PST2744 and slightly inhibited by digoxin. In myocytes with functioning Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, both agents increased diastolic Ca2+, SR Ca2+ content, the gain of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release, the rate of cytosolic Ca2+ decay, twitch amplitude, and relaxation rate. Consistent with the observations in SR vesicles, the effects on SR Ca2+ content and Ca2+ decay rate were significantly larger for PST2744 than for digoxin. CONCLUSIONS: In isolated SR vesicles, PST2744 and digoxin directly affected SR function in opposite ways; this could be reproduced in myocytes during Na+/Ca2+ exchanger blockade. Under physiological conditions (functioning Na+/Ca2+ exchanger), the two agents affected Ca2+ dynamics in the same direction, as expected by their Na+/K+ pump inhibition; however, differential SR modulation was still expressed by quantitative differences. Thus, the more favorable inotropy-to-toxicity ratio previously described for PST2744 appears to be associated with direct SERCA stimulation and/or lack of enhancement of Ca2+ leak.
