Our recent study showed that bradykinin increases cell cycling progression and migration of human cardiac c-Kit progenitor cells by activating pAkt and pERK1/2 signals. This study investigated whether bradykinin-mediated Ca signalling participates in regulating cellular functions in cultured human cardiac c-Kit progenitor cells using laser scanning confocal microscopy and biochemical approaches. It was found that bradykinin increased cytosolic free Ca ( ) by triggering a transient Ca release from ER IP3Rs followed by sustained Ca influx through store-operated Ca entry (SOCE) channel. Blockade of B2 receptor with HOE140 or IP3Rs with araguspongin B or silencing IP3R3 with siRNA abolished both Ca release and Ca influx. It is interesting to note that the bradykinin-induced cell cycle progression and migration were not observed in cells with siRNA-silenced IP3R3 or the SOCE component TRPC1, Orai1 or STIM1. Also the bradykinin-induced increase in pAkt and pERK1/2 as well as cyclin D1 was reduced in these cells. These results demonstrate for the first time that bradykinin-mediated increase in free via ER-IP3R3 Ca release followed by Ca influx through SOCE channel plays a crucial role in regulating cell growth and migration via activating pAkt, pERK1/2 and cyclin D1 in human cardiac c-Kit progenitor cells.

Globally, the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) is increasing, accounting for a third of all deaths worldwide including myocardial infarctions (MIs) which represent the most severe clinical manifestation of CAD and are among the most dangerous coronary events. Therefore, this study aims to assess the knowledge of symptoms and risk factors of MIs, as well as attitudes and beliefs regarding MIs and confidence in recognizing CAD symptoms in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study was conducted among individuals living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between November 2023 and April 2024 to assess their knowledge and beliefs about CAD and MIs.

Individuals afflicted with heart failure complicated by sepsis often experience a surge in blood glucose levels, a phenomenon known as stress hyperglycemia. However, the correlation between this condition and overall mortality remains unclear. 869 individuals with heart failure complicated by sepsis were identified from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) database and categorized into five cohorts based on their stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR).
