| Abstract | Diabetic cardiomyopathy is characterized, in part, by calcium handling imbalances associated with ventricular dysfunction. The cardiac Na+/Ca2+ exchanger 1 (NCX1) has been implicated as a compensatory mechanism in response to reduced contractility in the heart; however, its role in diabetic cardiomyopathy remains unknown. We aimed to fully characterize the Akitains2 murine model of type 1 diabetes through assessing cardiac function and NCX1 regulation. The CXCL12/CXCR4 chemokine axis is well described in its cardioprotective effects via progenitor cell recruitment postacute myocardial infarction; however, it also functions in regulating calcium dependent processes in the cardiac myocyte. We therefore investigated the potential impact of CXCR4 in diabetic cardiomyopathy. Cardiac performance in the Akitains2 mouse was monitored using echocardiography and in vivo pressure-volume analysis. The Akitains2 mouse is protected against ventricular systolic failure evident at both 5 and 12 mo of age. However, the preserved contractility was associated with a decreased sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA2a)/phospholamban ratio and increased NCX1 content. Direct myocardial injection of adenovirus encoding anti-sense NCX1 significantly decreased NCX1 expression and induced systolic failure in the Akitains2 mouse. CXCL12 and CXCR4 were both upregulated in the Akitains2 heart, along with an increase in IκB-α and NF-κB p65 phosphorylation. We demonstrated that CXCR4 activation upregulates NCX1 expression through a NF-κB-dependent signaling pathway in the cardiac myocyte. In conclusion, the Akitains2 type 1 diabetic model is protected against systolic failure due to increased NCX1 expression. In addition, our studies reveal a novel role of CXCR4 in the diabetic heart by regulating NCX1 expression via a NF-κB-dependent mechanism. |

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.
