Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac effects of ghrelin and its endogenous derivatives des-octanoyl ghrelin and des-Gln14-ghrelin
Ivano Bedendi,Giuseppe Alloatti,Andrea Marcantoni,Daniela Malan,Filomena Catapano,Corrado Ghè,Romano Deghenghi,Ezio Ghigo,Giampiero Muccioli +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of synthetic peptidyl GHS hexarelin (1 μM), or the natural ghrelin (50 nM), on the tension developed by guinea pig papillary muscle and on L-type Ca2+ current (ICa) of isolated ventricular cells were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
cAMP-Binding Protein Epac Induces Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy
Eric Morel,Andrea Marcantoni,Monique Gastineau,Rikke Birkedal,Francesca Rochais,Anne Garnier,Anne-Marie Lompré,Grégoire Vandecasteele,Frank Lezoualc'h +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that Epac activation leads to morphological changes and induces expression of cardiac hypertrophic markers and is associated with a Ca2+-dependent activation of the small GTPase, Rac, which activates a prohypertrophic signaling pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loss of Cav1.3 Channels Reveals the Critical Role of L-Type and BK Channel Coupling in Pacemaking Mouse Adrenal Chromaffin Cells
Andrea Marcantoni,David Vandael,Satyajit Mahapatra,Valentina Carabelli,Martina J. Sinnegger-Brauns,Joerg Striessnig,Emilio Carbone +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that the interpulse pacemaker current was always net inward and dominated by LTCCs, and the role of Cav1.3 channels is highlighted, as subthreshold pacemaker channels in MCCs and new interesting features about their role in the control of firing and catecholamine secretion at rest and during sustained stimulations matching acute stress are opened.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic hypoxia up-regulates α1H T-type channels and low-threshold catecholamine secretion in rat chromaffin cells
Valentina Carabelli,Andrea Marcantoni,Valentina Comunanza,A. De Luca,J. Díaz,Ricardo Borges,Emilio Carbone +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that RCCs exposed to chronic hypoxia for 12–18 h in 3% O2 express comparable densities of functional T‐type channels that depolarize the resting cells and contribute to low‐voltage exocytosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cav1.3 and BK Channels for Timing and Regulating Cell Firing
David Henry Vandael,Andrea Marcantoni,Satyajit Mahapatra,Anton Caro,Peter Ruth,Annalisa Zuccotti,Marlies Knipper,Emilio Carbone +7 more
TL;DR: The most critical aspects of Cav1.3 channel gating and its coupling to large conductance BK channels recently discovered in spontaneously firing neurons and neuroendocrine cells are reviewed with the aim of furnishing a converging view of the role that these two channel types play in the regulation of cell excitability.
