Defective calcium handling in cardiomyocytes isolated from hearts subjected to ischemia-reperfusion
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Although ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) has been shown to affect subcellular organelles that regulate the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), very little information regarding the Ca2+ handling ability of cardiomyocytes obtained from I/R hearts is available. To investigate changes in [Ca2+]i due to I/R, rat hearts in vitro were subjected to 10-30 min of ischemia followed by 5-30 min of reperfusion. Cardiomyocytes from these hearts were isolated and purified; [Ca2+]i was measured by employing fura-2 microfluorometry. Reperfusion for 30 min of the 20-min ischemic hearts showed attenuated cardiac performance, whereas basal [Ca2+]i as well as the KCl-induced increase in [Ca2+]i and isoproterenol (Iso)-induced increase in [Ca2+]i in cardiomyocytes remained unaltered. On the other hand, reperfusion of the 30-min ischemic hearts for different periods revealed marked changes in cardiac function, basal [Ca2+]i, and Iso-induced increase in [Ca2+]i without any alterations in the KCl-induced increase in [Ca2+]i or S(-)-BAY K 8644-induced increase in [Ca2+]i. The I/R-induced alterations in cardiac function, basal [Ca2+]i, and Iso-induced increase in [Ca2+]i in cardiomyocytes were attenuated by an antioxidant mixture containing superoxide dismutase and catalase as well as by ischemic preconditioning. The observed changes due to I/R were simulated in hearts perfused with H2O2 for 30 min. These results suggest that abnormalities in basal [Ca2+]i as well as mobilization of [Ca2+]i upon beta-adrenoceptor stimulation in cardiomyocytes are dependent on the duration of ischemic injury to the myocardium. Furthermore, Ca2+ handling defects in cardiomyocytes appear to be mediated through oxidative stress in I/R hearts.

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.
