Previous studies have shown that overexpression of phospholemman (PLM) affected contractile function and Ca(2+) homeostasis in adult rat myocytes. We tested the hypothesis that PLM modulated Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1) activity. PLM was overexpressed in adult rat myocytes by adenovirus-mediated gene transfer. After 72 h, the half-time of relaxation from caffeine-induced contracture, an estimate of forward NCX1 activity, was prolonged 1.8-fold (P < 0.003) in myocytes overexpressing PLM compared with control myocytes overexpressing green fluorescent protein alone. Reverse NCX1 current (3 Na(+) out:1 Ca(2+) in) was significantly (P < 0.0001) lower in PLM myocytes, especially at more positive voltages. Immunofluorescence demonstrated colocalization of PLM and NCX1 to the plasma membrane and t-tubules. Resting membrane potential, action potential amplitude and duration, myocyte size, and NCX1 and calsequestrin protein levels were not affected by PLM overexpression. At 5 mM extracellular [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](o)), the depressed contraction amplitudes in PLM myocytes were increased towards normal by cooverexpression with NCX1. At 0.6 mM [Ca(2+)](o), the supranormal contraction amplitudes in PLM myocytes were reduced by cooverexpression with NCX1. We conclude that PLM modulated myocyte contractility partly by inhibiting Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange.

D002110 Caffeine A methylxanthine naturally occurring in some beverages and also used as a pharmacological agent. Caffeine's most notable pharmacological effect is as a central nervous system stimulant, increasing alertness and producing agitation. It also relaxes SMOOTH MUSCLE, stimulates CARDIAC MUSCLE, stimulates DIURESIS, and appears to be useful in the treatment of some types of headache. Several cellular actions of caffeine have been observed, but it is not entirely clear how each contributes to its pharmacological profile. Among the most important are inhibition of cyclic nucleotide PHOSPHODIESTERASES, antagonism of ADENOSINE RECEPTORS, and modulation of intracellular calcium handling. 1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine,Caffedrine,Coffeinum N,Coffeinum Purrum,Dexitac,Durvitan,No Doz,Percoffedrinol N,Percutaféine,Quick-Pep,Vivarin,Quick Pep,QuickPep
