Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common and progressive tachyarrhythmia. Diabetes is a common risk factor for AF. Recent research findings revealed that microtubule network disruption underlies AF.

Sigmar1 is a widely expressed molecular chaperone protein in mammalian cell systems. Accumulating research demonstrated the cardioprotective roles of pharmacologic Sigmar1 activation by ligands in preclinical rodent models of cardiac injury. Extensive biochemical and immuno-electron microscopic research demonstrated Sigmar1's sub-cellular localization largely depends on cell and organ types.

Interorganellar contacts are increasingly recognized as central to the control of cellular behavior. These contacts, which typically involve a small fraction of the endomembrane surface, are local communication hubs that resemble synapses. We propose the term contactology to denote the analysis of interorganellar contacts.

Aims: Elevated levels of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) in adult cardiac myocytes are typically associated with the development of cardiac hypertrophy, arrhythmias, and heart failure. IP3 enhances intracellular Ca(2+ )release via IP3 receptors (IP3Rs) located at the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). We aimed to determine whether IP3-induced Ca(2+ )release affects mitochondrial function and determine the underlying mechanisms.

Background: We have shown that BNIP3 expression is significantly increased in heart failure (HF). In this study, we tested the effects of BNIP3 manipulation in HF.
Methods And Results: In a rat model of pressure overload HF, BNIP3 knockdown significantly decreased left ventricular (LV) volumes with significant improvement in LV diastolic and systolic function.
