Unfolded Protein Response Regulates Cardiac Sodium Current in Systolic Human Heart Failure
14 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human heart failure (HF) increases alternative mRNA splicing of the type V, voltage-gated cardiac Na+ channel α-subunit (SCN5A), generating variants encoding truncated, nonfunctional channels that are trapped in the endoplasmic reticulum. In this work, we tested whether truncated Na+ channels activate the unfolded protein response (UPR), contributing to SCN5A electric remodeling in HF. METHODS AND...
