Presentation Transcript

  1. Excitation-contraction coupling and drugs W. Rose

  2. Normal skeletal excitation-contraction coupling www.bioscience.org/2002/v7/d/dirksen/fulltext.asp?bframe=figures.htm L-type Ca chnl(=DHPR) physically coupled to SR Ca release chnl(=RyR). Ca influx not required for SR Ca release.

  3. Normal excitation-contraction coupling in cardiac muscle http://www.bioscience.org/2002/v7/d/dirksen/fulltext.asp?bframe=figures.htm Cardiac: L-type Ca chnl not physically coupled to RyR. Ca influx thru L-type Ca chnl triggers opening of SR Ca chnl and hence SR Ca release.

  4. Man-made chemicals and drugs that affect excitation-contraction coupling Caffiene: RyR DHP: blocks L-type Ca channel Triclosan (hand sanitizer): impairs contractility in skeletal and cardiac muscle in mice; blocks L-type Ca channel. Triclosan: Cherednichenko et al., PNAS 2012.
