Sodium calcium exchanger plays a key role in alteration of cardiac function in response to pressure overload

Abstract: The Na+-Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) on the plasma membrane is thought to be the main calcium extrusion system from the cytosol to the extracellular space in many mammalian excitable cells, including cardiac myocytes. However, the pathophysiological role of NCX in the heart is still unclear because of the lack of known specific inhibitors of NCX. To determine the role of NCX in cardiac contraction and the development of cardiac hypertrophy, we imposed pressure overload on the heart of heterozygous NCX knockout (KO) mi… Show more

“…For example, it relates to contractile dysfunction, arrhythmogenesis and remodeling of cardiac muscles [33, 34, 35], to abnormal Ca 2+ regulation in pancreatic cells [36, 37], and to the abnormal development of brain cells [38, 39]. In cultured human and rat MCs, the expression of NCX was shown to be related to the rate of growth and life span [40, 41, 42].…”

“…MAO-B -/ -mice were generated as previously described (20). TAC was performed following a previously reported protocol (40). After induction of anesthesia and intubation, mice were placed on a volume ventilator (120 breaths/min, 1.2 ml/g/min) and anesthesia was maintained with 5% isofluorane.…”
