“…However, within the same Western blots or immunoprecipitates, other tissues (e.g., human pulmonary artery and porcine ASM) displayed significant PLB levels. Specificity of the PLB antibody for human PLB has been previously demonstrated by other groups (21,24) and also confirmed by using positive controls from both human and other species in the present study. Accordingly, it is likely that although PLB mRNA is present in human ASM, the mRNA is not being translated, or if it is, the extent of translation or the level of stable protein is minimal (as suggested by the miniscule amount noted with immunoprecipitation of large amounts of ASM protein).…”

“…Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ ATPases (SERCAs) play a major role in the control of Ca 2+ signalling (Chami et al 2001). Previous experiments F. C. have demonstrated that transfection of SERCA1 increased shortening amplitude and enhanced relaxation kinetics in failing human myocytes (Pieske et al 2002). Interestingly, SERCA1 (Atp2a1) was downregulated in GK rats fed a HFD.…”

“…17,18 Contraction of cardiomyocytes is mainly controlled by Ca 2 + entry via L-type Ca 2 + channels and subsequent activation of the RyR, positioned in the SR membrane. 19 RyR, as a SR Ca 2 + release channel, is an essential component of ECC in cardiac contractility and is modulated by several factors such as Ca 2 + , Mg 2 + , and protein kinase A (PKA). 20,21 Further, phospholamban is a phosphoprotein modulating Ca 2 + -ATPase 2a through which ELT (0.3 mg/mL), n = 6; propranolol (1 lM) + ELT (0.3 mg/mL), n = 4; propranolol control, n = 3.…”
