| Abstract | Female rabbit hearts are more susceptible to torsade de pointes (TdP) in acquired long QT type 2 than males, in-part due to higher L-type Ca2+ current (I Ca,L) at the base of the heart. In principle, higher Ca2+ influx via I Ca,L should be balanced by higher efflux, perhaps mediated by parallel sex differences of sodium–calcium exchange (NCX) current (I NCX). We now show that NCX1, like Cav1.2α, is greater at the base of female than male left ventricular epicardium and greater at the base than at the apex in both sexes. In voltage-clamp studies, inward (0, +20 mV, P < 0.04) and outward (−80, −60, −40, −20 mV, P < 0.01) I NCX densities were significantly higher (1.5–2 fold) in female base compared to apex and male (base and apex) myocytes. Myocytes were incubated ±17β-oestradiol (E2 = 1 nm) and I NCX was measured on days 0, 1, 2 and 3. Inward and outward I NCX decreased over 2 days in female base myocytes becoming similar to I NCX at the apex. E2 incubation (24 h) increased NCX1 (50%) and I NCX (∼3-fold at 60 mV) in female base but not endocardium, apex or in male base myocytes. I NCX upregulation by E2 was blunted by an oestrogen receptor (ER) antagonist (fulvestrant, 1 μm), and inhibition of transcription (actinomycin D, 5 μg ml−1) or translation (cycloheximide, 20 μg ml−1). Dofetilide (an I Kr blocker) induced early afterdepolarizations (EADs) in female base myocytes cultured for 1 day if incubated with E2, but not without E2 or with E2+KB-R4973 (an I NCX inhibitor), E2+fulvestrant or E2 with apex myocytes. Thus, E2 upregulates NCX1 by a genomic mechanism mediated by ERs, and de novo mRNA and protein biosynthesis, in a sex- and region-dependent manner which contributes to the enhanced propensity to EADs and TdP in female hearts. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
