| Abstract | AIM: To determine whether different Na+/K+-ATPase signal transduction pathways have positive inotropic effects on normal ventricular myocytes (NC) and failing ventricular myocytes (FC), and are involved in an increase of [Ca2+]i induced by strophanthidin (Str). METHODS: A guinea pig model of congestive heart failure was made by constricting descending aorta. The left ventricular myocytes were enzymatically isolated. The effects of 25 micromol/L Str with different signal-transducing inhibitors on contractility and the calcium transient of NC or FC from guinea pigs were simultaneously assessed and compared with those in the 25 micromol/L Str-only group by a video-based, motion-edge detection system. RESULTS: Str at 1, 10, and 25 micromol/L in NC and Str at 0.1, 1, 10, and 25 micromol/L) in FC elevated the calcium transient amplitude and increased the positive inotropic effects in a concentration-dependent manner, respectively. At the same concentration, the effects of Str were more potent in FC than in NC. In FC, both the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) signal transduction pathway of Na+/K+-ATPase were involved in the increase of the calcium transient induced by Str, but only activation of the MAPK pathway increased the calcium transient in NC. However, only the ROS pathway was involved in positive inotropic effects both in NC and FC. CONCLUSION: The present study suggests that Na+/K+-ATPase signaling pathways involved in the inotropic effects of Str in NC and FC are consistent, and Na+/K+-ATPase signaling pathways involved in the increase of [Ca2+]i by Str in NC and FC are different. |

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.
