Aldosterone Increases NHE-1 Expression and Induces NHE-1-Dependent Hypertrophy in Neonatal Rat Ventricular Myocytes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We determined the effect of 24-hour aldosterone (100 nmol/L) treatment on hypertrophic responses in rat neonatal ventricular myocytes and the possible role of Na+-H+ exchange isoform 1 (NHE-1). Aldosterone significantly increased cell size by 61% and expression of atrial natriuretic peptide by 2-fold. NHE-1 mRNA expression and protein abundance were significantly increased, and intracellular Na+ levels were elevated. Both hypertrophy and elevated Na+ levels were prevented by the NHE-1-specific inhibitor EMD87580 as well as the aldosterone antagonist spironolactone, although the increased NHE-1 levels were prevented only by spironolactone. Aldosterone transiently (within 5 minutes) stimulated p44/42 phosphorylation, which decreased thereafter for the remaining 24 hours, whereas p38 phosphorylation was reduced. Neither a p38 nor a p44/42 inhibitor had any effect on aldosterone-induced hypertrophy or NHE-1 regulation. Our results therefore demonstrate a direct hypertrophic effect of aldosterone on cultured myocytes, which is dependent on NHE-1 activity.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
