Here, we investigated the possible beneficial actions of EPA on saturated fatty acid-induced changes in the L-type Ca2+ channel in cardiomyocytes. Cardiomyocytes were cultured with an oleic acid/palmitic acid mixture (OAPA) in the presence or absence of EPA. Beating rate reduction in cardiomyocytes caused by OAPA were reversed by EPA. EPA also retrieved a reduction in Cav1.2 L-type Ca2+ current, mRNA, and protein caused by OAPA. Immunocytochemical analysis revealed a distinct downregulation of the Cav1.2 channel caused by OAPA with a concomitant decrease in the phosphorylated component of a transcription factor adenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) response element binding protein (CREB) in the nucleus, which were rescued by EPA. A free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFAR4) agonist TUG-891 reversed expression of Cav1.2 and CREB mRNA caused by OAPA, whereas an FFAR4 antagonist AH-7614 abolished the effects of EPA. Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation caused by OAPA decreased Cav1.2 and CREB mRNA expressions, which was reversed by an ROS scavenger. Our data suggest that EPA rescues cellular Cav1.2-Ca2+ channel decline caused by OAPA lipotoxicity and oxidative stresses via both free fatty acid receptor 4-dependent and -independent pathways.

Although gemcitabine-induced cardiotoxicity is widely recognized, the exact mechanism of cardiac dysfunction causing arrhythmias remains unclear. The objective of this study was to electrophysiologically evaluate the proarrhythmic cardiotoxicity of gemcitabine focusing on the human rapid delayed rectifier potassium channel, hERG channel. In heterologous hERG expressing HEK293 cells (hERG-HEK cells), hERG channel current (IhERG) was reduced by gemcitabine when applied for 24 h but not immediately after the application. Gemcitabine modified the activation gating properties of the hERG channel toward the hyperpolarization direction, while inactivation, deactivation or reactivation gating properties were unaffected by gemcitabine. When gemcitabine was applied to hERG-HEK cells in combined with tunicamycin, an inhibitor of N-acetylglucosamine phosphotransferase, gemcitabine was unable to reduce IhERG or shift the activation properties toward the hyperpolarization direction. While a mannosidase I inhibitor kifunensine alone reduced IhERG and the reduction was even larger in combined with gemcitabine, kifunensine was without effect on IhERG when hERG-HEK cells were pretreated with gemcitabine for 24 h. In addition, gemcitabine down-regulated fluorescence intensity for hERG potassium channel protein in rat neonatal cardiomyocyte, although hERG mRNA was unchanged. Our results suggest the possible mechanism of arrhythmias caused by gemcitabine revealing a down-regulation of IhERG through the post-translational glycosylation disruption possibly at the early phase of hERG channel glycosylation in the endoplasmic reticulum that alters the electrical excitability of cells.
- Yan Wang; Masaki Morishima; Katsushige OnoMembranes 12 7 2022年07月Two distinct isoforms of the T-type Ca2+ channel, Cav3.1 and Cav3.2, play a pivotal role in the generation of pacemaker potentials in nodal cells in the heart, although the isoform switches from Cav3.2 to Cav3.1 during the early neonatal period with an unknown mechanism. The present study was designed to investigate the molecular system of the parts that are responsible for the changes of T-type Ca2+ channel isoforms in neonatal cardiomyocytes using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique and mRNA quantification. The present study demonstrates that PKC activation accelerates the Ni2+-sensitive beating rate and upregulates the Ni2+-sensitive T-type Ca2+ channel current in neonatal cardiomyocytes as a long-term effect, whereas PKC inhibition delays the Ni2+-sensitive beating rate and downregulates the Ni2+-sensitive T-type Ca2+ channel current. Because the Ni2+-sensitive T-type Ca2+ channel current is largely composed of the Cav3.2-T-type Ca2+ channel, it is accordingly assumed that PKC activity plays a crucial role in the maintenance of the Cav3.2 channel. The expression of Cav3.2 mRNA was highly positively correlated with PKC activity. The expression of a transcription factor Nkx2.5 mRNA, possibly corresponding to the Cav3.2 channel gene, was decreased by an inhibition of PKCβII. These results suggest that PKC activation, presumably by PKCβII, is responsible for the upregulation of CaV3.2 T-type Ca2+ channel expression that interacts with a car-diac-specific transcription factor, Nkx2.5, in neonatal cardiomyocytes.

We tested the hypothesis that angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced cardiovascular complications are distinguished from what catecholamine-induced by their serum circulating biomarkers in rats. Infusion of Ang II (1.68 mg/kg/day) significantly increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure assessed at week one or later, accompanied by an increase of heart/body weight ratio. Noradrenaline infusion (5.40 mg/kg/day) produced a similar degree of hypertension, but did not increase heart weight. Ang II-, but not noradrenaline-induced hypertension was associated with a drastic upregulation of serum microRNA-30d (miR-30d) by hundreds of times, accompanied by an increase of miR-30d levels in the atrium but not in the ventricle. Ang II, but not noradrenaline, significantly increased mRNA of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in the atrium. Studies using rat neonatal cardiomyocytes in vitro demonstrated that BNP caused an increase of miR-30d when applied for 6 h or longer in the culture medium. In vitro application of Ang II increased the cell size, although BNP and miR-30d were unable to mimic the effect of Ang II. We conclude that serum circulating microRNA-30d is a sensitive biomarker for Ang II-induced cardiovascular complications. It is also postulated that Ang II-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy could be independent of miR-30d/BNP signaling pathways. - Masaki Morishima; Takafumi Fujita; Satoshi Osagawa; Hiroshi Kubota; Katsushige OnoMembranes 11 7 470 - 470 2021年06月 [査読有り]
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has recently been recognized as a cardiovascular regulator particularly in the diseased condition, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and hypertension. Here, we investigate the role of BDNF on the T-type Ca2+ channel, Cav3.1 and Cav3.2, in rat neonatal cardiomyocytes exposed to normoxia (21% O2) and acute hypoxia (1% O2) in vitro for up to 3 h. The exposure of cardiomyocytes to hypoxia (1 h, 3 h) caused a significant upregulation of the mRNAs for hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (Hif1α), Cav3.1, Cav3.2 and Bdnf, but not tropomyosin-related kinase receptor B (TrkB). The upregulation of Cav3.1 and Cav3.2 caused by hypoxia was completely halted by small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting Hif1a (Hif1a-siRNA) or Bdnf (Bdnf-siRNA). Immunocytochemical staining data revealed a distinct upregulation of Cav3.1- and Cav3.2-proteins caused by hypoxia in cardiomyocytes, which was markedly suppressed by Bdnf-siRNA. These results unveiled a novel regulatory action of BDNF on the T-type Ca2+ channels expression through the HIF-1α-dependent pathway in cardiomyocytes. - Pu Wang; Mengyan Wei; Xiufang Zhu; Yangong Liu; Kenshi Yoshimura; Mingqi Zheng; Gang Liu; Shinichiro Kume; Masaki Morishima; Tatsuki Kurokawa; Katsushige OnoScientific reports 11 1 11273 - 11273 2021年05月 [査読有り]
Nitric oxide (NO) is produced from endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes composing the myocardium and benefits cardiac function through both vascular-dependent and-independent effects. This study was purposed to investigate the possible adverse effect of NO focusing on the voltage-gated Na+ channel in cardiomyocytes. We carried out patch-clamp experiments on rat neonatal cardiomyocytes demonstrating that NOC-18, an NO donor, significantly reduced Na+ channel current in a dose-dependent manner by a long-term application for 24 h, accompanied by a reduction of Nav1.5-mRNA and the protein, and an increase of a transcription factor forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1) in the nucleus. The effect of NOC-18 on the Na+ channel was blocked by an inhibitor of thiol oxidation N-ethylmaleimide, a disulfide reducing agent disulfide 1,4-Dithioerythritol, or a FOXO1 activator paclitaxel, suggesting that NO is a negative regulator of the voltage-gated Na+ channel through thiols in regulatory protein(s) for the channel transcription. - Ryusuke Suzuki; Masaki Morishima; Chisato Nakada; Shinji Miyamoto; Katsushige OnoHeart and vessels 36 4 577 - 588 2021年04月 [査読有り]
This investigation was aimed to identify gene profiles in human atrial myocardium in response to chronic mechanical stretch. Right atrial appendages from 21 patients were divided into 2 groups based on the size of right atrial volume. The microarray DATA analyses differentially identified 335 genes (> 2.0-fold, corrected P < 0.05) including "functionally unknown genes". This study identified 26 up-regulated genes (natriuretic peptide B, G protein subunit gamma 13, thyroid stimulating hormone beta, etc.) and 23 down-regulated genes (oligodendrocyte transcription factor 1, carbonic anhydrase 12, etc.), which could be responsible for chronic stretch-mediated structural remodeling in the atrium. - Masaki Morishima; Shintaro Tahara; Yan Wang; Katsushige OnoMembranes 11 4 234 2021年03月 [査読有り]
Oxytocin (OT) and its receptor (OTR) are expressed in the heart and are involved in the physiological cardiovascular functional system. Although it is known that OT/OTR signaling is cardioprotective by reducing the inflammatory response and improving cardiovascular function, the role of OT in the cardiac electrical excitation modulation has not been clarified. This study investigates the molecular mechanism of the action of OT on cardiomyocyte membrane excitation focusing on the L-type Ca2+ channel. Our methodology uses molecular biological methods and a patch-clamp technique on rat cardiomyocytes with OT, combined with several signal inhibitors and/or activators. Our results show that long-term treatment of OT significantly decreases the expression of Cav1.2 mRNA, and reduces the L-type Ca2+ channel current (ICa.L) in cardiomyocytes. OT downregulates the phosphorylated component of a transcription factor adenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) response element binding protein (CREB), whose action is blocked by OTR antagonist and pertussis toxin, a specific inhibitor of the inhibitory GTP-binding regulators of adenylate cyclase, Gi. On the other hand, the upregulation of Cav1.2 mRNA expression by isoproterenol is halted by OT. Furthermore, inhibition of phospholipase C (PLC) was without effect on the OT action to downregulate Cav1.2 mRNA-which suggests a signal pathway of Gi/protein kinase A (PKA)/CREB mediated by OT/OTR. These findings indicate novel signaling pathways of OT contributing to a downregulation of the Cav1.2-L-type Ca2+ channel in cardiomyocytes. - Yan Wang; Masaki Morishima; Dan Li; Naohiko Takahashi; Tetsunori Saikawa; Stanley Nattel; Katsushige OnoCirculation journal : official journal of the Japanese Circulation Society 84 11 1931 - 1940 2020年10月 [査読有り]
BACKGROUND: The association between binge alcohol ingestion and atrial fibrillation (AF), often termed "holiday heart syndrome", has long been recognized. However, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms are unknown.Methods and Results:An experimental model of binge alcohol-induced AF was developed to elucidate the mechanisms linking acute ethanol exposure to changes in ion channel transcription and AF susceptibility. AF-susceptibility during transesophageal electrical stimulation was enhanced 8 h after, but not immediately or 24 h after, acute alcohol intake. T-type calcium channel (TCC) blockade and calcineurin inhibition diminished the AF-promoting effect of ethanol. Long-term (8-24 h) exposure to ethanol augmented TCC isoform-expression (Cav3.1 and Cav3.2) and currents in cardiomyocytes, accompanied by upregulation of the transcription factors, Csx/Nkx2.5 and nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT), in the nucleus, and of phospho-glycogen synthesis kinase 3β (GSK3β) in the cytosol. Inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) during the 7- to 8-h period following ethanol exposure attenuated susceptibility to AF, whereas acute exposure did not. GSK3β inhibition itself upregulated TCC expression and increased AF susceptibility. CONCLUSIONS: The present study results suggest a crucial role for TCC upregulation in the AF substrate following binge alcohol-drinking, resulting from ethanol-induced PKC-activation that hyperphosphorylates GSK3β to cause enhanced calcineurin-NFAT-Csx/Nkx2.5 signaling. These observations elucidate for the first time the potential mechanisms underlying the clinically well-recognized, but mechanistically enigmatic, "holiday heart syndrome". - Toru Shimaoka; Yan Wang; Masaki Morishima; Shinji Miyamoto; Katsushige OnoCirculation journal : official journal of the Japanese Circulation Society 84 8 1244 - 1253 2020年07月 [査読有り]
BACKGROUND: Mechanisms for QT interval prolongation and cardiac arrhythmogenesis in hypomagnesemia are poorly understood. This study investigated the potential molecular mechanism for QT prolongation caused by magnesium (Mg) deficiency in rats by using the patch clamp technique and molecular biology.Methods and Results:Male Wistar rats were fed an Mg-free diet or a normal diet for up to 12 weeks. There was QT prolongation in the ECG of Mg-deficient rats, and cardiomyocytes from these rats showed prolongation of action potential duration. Electrophysiological studies showed that inward-rectifying K+current (IK1) and transient outward K+current (Ito) were decreased in Mg-deficient cardiomyocytes, and these findings were consistent with the downregulation of mRNA, as well as protein levels of Kir2.1 and Kv4.2. In Mg-deficient cardiomyocytes, transcription factors, GATA4 and NFAT, were upregulated, whereas CREB was downregulated. In contrast to Mg deficiency, cellular Mg2+overload in cultured cardiomyocytes resulted in the upregulation of Kir2.1 and Kv4.2, which was accompanied by the downregulation of GATA4 and NFATc4, and the upregulation of CREB. Activation of NFAT and inhibition of CREB reduced Kv4.2-Ito, whereas Kir2.1-IK1was reduced by CREB inhibition but not by NFTA activation. CONCLUSIONS: Intracellular Mg deficiency downregulates IK1and Itoin cardiomyocytes, and this is mediated by the transcription factors, NFAT and CREB. These results provide a novel mechanism for the long-term QT interval prolongation in hypomagnesemia. - Kimiko Masuda; Hiroki Takanari; Masaki Morishima; FangFang Ma; Yan Wang; Naohiko Takahashi; Katsushige OnoThe journal of physiological sciences : JPS 68 6 759 - 767 2018年11月 [査読有り]
Men have shorter rate-corrected QT intervals (QTc) than women, especially at the period of adolescence or later. The aim of this study was to elucidate the long-term effects of testosterone on cardiac excitability parameters including electrocardiogram (ECG) and potassium channel current. Testosterone shortened QT intervals in ECG in castrated male rats, not immediately after, but on day 2 or later. Expression of Kv7.1 (KCNQ1) mRNA was significantly upregulated by testosterone in cardiomyocytes of male and female rats. Short-term application of testosterone was without effect on delayed rectifier potassium channel current (IKs), whereas IKs was significantly increased in cardiomyocytes treated with dihydrotestosterone for 24 h, which was mimicked by isoproterenol (24 h). Gene-selective inhibitors of a transcription factor SP1, mithramycin, abolished the effects of testosterone on Kv7.1. Testosterone increases Kv7.1-IKs possibly through a pathway related to a transcription factor SP1, suggesting a genomic effect of testosterone as an active factor for cardiac excitability. - Masaki Morishima; Kazuki Horikawa; Makoto FunakiPloS one 13 8 e0201891 2018年 [査読有り]
RATIONALE: Diabetes causes cardiac dysfunction, and understanding of its mechanism is still incomplete. One reason could be limitations in modeling disease conditions by current in vitro cardiomyocyte culture. Emerging evidence suggests that the mechanical properties of the microenvironment affect cardiomyocyte function. Nevertheless, the impact of high glucose on cardiomyocytes cultured on substrates whose stiffness matches that of the heart (approximately 15 kPa) is untested. OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that cardiomyocytes cultured in microenvironments that mimic the mechanical properties of those for cardiomyocytes in vivo may reproduce the pathophysiology characteristics of diabetic cardiomyocytes ex vivo, such as the morphological appearance, ROS accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. METHODS AND RESULTS: Isolated neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were seeded on 15 kPa polyacrylamide (PAA) gels, whose stiffness mimics that of heart tissues, or on glass coverslips, which represent conventional culture devices but are unphysiologically stiff. Cells were then cultured at 5 mM glucose, corresponding to the normal blood glucose level, or at high glucose levels (10 to 25 mM). Cytoskeletal disorganization, ROS accumulation, attenuated mitochondrial membrane potential and attenuated ATP level caused by high glucose and their reversal by a ROS scavenger were prominent in cells on gels, but not in cells on coverslips. The lack of response to ROS scavenging could be attributable to enhanced apoptosis in cells on glass, shown by enhanced DNA fragmentation and higher caspase 3/7 activity in cells on glass coverslips. High-glucose treatment also downregulated GLUT4 expression and attenuated insulin-stimulated glucose uptake only in cells on 15 kPa gels. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that a mechanically compliant microenvironment increases the susceptibility of primary cardiomyocytes to elevated glucose levels, which enables these cells to serve as an innovative model for diabetic heart research. - Fangfang Ma; Hiroki Takanari; Kimiko Masuda; Masaki Morishima; Katsushige OnoHeart and vessels 31 7 1176 - 84 2016年07月 [査読有り]
Bepridil is an effective antiarrhythmic drug on supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias, and inhibitor of calmodulin. Recent investigations have been elucidating that bepridil exerts antiarrhythmic effects through its acute and chronic application for patients. The aim of this study was to identify the efficacy and the potential mechanism of bepridil on the inward-rectifier potassium channel in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes in acute- and long-term conditions. Bepridil inhibited inward-rectifier potassium current (I K1) as a short-term effect with IC50 of 17 μM. Bepridil also reduced I K1 of neonatal cardiomyocytes when applied for 24 h in the culture medium with IC50 of 2.7 μM. Both a calmodulin inhibitor (W-7) and an inhibitor of calmodulin-kinase II (KN93) reduced I K1 when applied for 24 h as a long-term effect in the same fashion, suggesting that the long-term application of bepridil inhibits I K1 more potently than that of the short-term application through the inhibition of calmodulin kinase II pathway in cardiomyocytes. - Masaki Morishima; Eriko Iwata; Chisato Nakada; Yoshiyuki Tsukamoto; Hiroki Takanari; Shinji Miyamoto; Masatsugu Moriyama; Katsushige OnoCirculation journal : official journal of the Japanese Circulation Society 80 6 1346 - 55 2016年05月 [査読有り]
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) begets AF in part due to atrial remodeling, the molecular mechanisms of which have not been completely elucidated. This study was conducted to identify microRNA(s) responsible for electrical remodeling in AF. METHODS AND RESULTS: The expression profiles of 1205 microRNAs, in cardiomyocytes from patients with persistent AF and from age-, gender-, and cardiac function-matched control patients with normal sinus rhythm, were examined by use of a microRNA microarray platform. Thirty-nine microRNAs differentially expressed in AF patients' atria were identified, including miR-30d, as a candidate responsible for ion channel remodeling by in silico analysis. MiR-30d was significantly upregulated in cardiomyocytes from AF patients, whereas the mRNA and protein levels ofCACNA1C/Cav1.2 andKCNJ3/Kir3.1, postulated targets of miR-30d, were markedly reduced.KCNJ3/Kir3.1 expression was downregulated by transfection of the miR-30 precursor, concomitant with a reduction of the acetylcholine-sensitive inward-rectifier K(+)current (IK.ACh).KCNJ3/Kir3.1 (but notCACNA1C/Cav1.2) expression was enhanced by the knockdown of miR-30d. The Ca(2+)ionophore, A23187, induced a dose-dependent upregulation of miR-30d, followed by the suppression ofKCNJ3mRNA expression. Blockade of protein kinase C signaling blunted the [Ca(2+)]i-dependent downregulation of Kir3.1 via miR-30d. CONCLUSIONS: The downward remodeling ofIK.AChis attributed, at least in part, to deranged Ca(2+)handling, leading to the upregulation of miR-30d in human AF, revealing a novel post-transcriptional regulation ofIK.ACh.

The present study was designed to investigate the effect of magnesium (Mg) depletion on the expression of voltage-gated calcium (Ca(2+)) channels and Ca(2+) currents in the heart and thereby on hypomagnesemic arrhythmogenesis in adult male rats. Male Wistar rats were fed an Mg-free diet or a normal diet for up to 16 weeks. Serum Mg concentrations were significantly reduced at week 4 or later with an Mg-free diet, which experimentally represents hypomagnesemia. Myocardial Mg contents were also reduced at week 16 accompanied by myocardial hypertrophy. Telemetric ECG recordings revealed a long-term changes of ECG parameters in hypomagnesemic rats; RR shortening, QT prolongation and appreciable PR prolongation. At the same time, hypomagnesemic rats demonstrate various bradycardiac arrhythmias including ventricular premature beats, atrioventricular blocks and sinus arrest, which were never recoded in rats fed by a normal diet. Electrophysiological studies elucidated that the L-type Ca(2+) channel current was decreased in Mg-deficient cardiomyocytes, and these findings were consistent with down-regulation of CaV1.2-mRNA but not in levels of CaV1.3, CaV3.1 or CaV3.2. These findings provide novel insights into hypomagnesemic electrophysiological disorders in the heart, and should be considered when assessing the design of effective antiarrhythmic treatments in patients with hypomagnesemia. - Takamasa Ohnishi; Fumiko Hisaoka; Masaki Morishima; Akira Takahashi; Nagakatsu Harada; Kazuaki Mawatari; Hidekazu Arai; Emiko Yoshioka; Satomi Toda; Izumi Keisuke; Yutaka NakayaJournal of toxicologic pathology 27 1 51 - 6 2014年04月 [査読有り]
Studies that investigate the underlying mechanisms of disease and treatment options typically require the use of a suitable animal model. Few suitable animal models exist for left atrial thrombosis. Here, we demonstrated that the Spontaneously-Running-Tokushima-Shikoku (SPORTS) rat - a Wistar strain known for its running ability-is predisposed to the development of thrombi in the left atrium. We investigated the incidence of left atrial thrombosis in male (n = 16) and female (n = 17) SPORTS rats and observed organized atrial thrombosis in 57% and 38% of males and female rats, respectively. In the male rats, systolic blood pressures and heart rates were significantly higher in SPORTS rats than in control Wistar rats. We could not find any evidence of arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation, during electrocardiographic examination of SPORTS rats. We believe that the SPORTS rat could serve as a new research model for left atrial thrombosis; further, it may be suitable for research investigating the development of new antithrombotic approaches for the control of atrial thrombosis or familial thrombophilia in humans. - Kazuaki Mawatari; Emiko Yoshioka; Satomi Toda; Sonoko Yasui; Hiroko Furukawa; Takaaki Shimohata; Takamasa Ohnishi; Masaki Morishima; Nagakatsu Harada; Akira Takahashi; Hiroshi Sakaue; Yutaka NakayaCirculation journal : official journal of the Japanese Circulation Society 78 8 1980 - 8 2014年 [査読有り]
BACKGROUND: Left atrial (LA) thrombosis is an important cause of systemic embolization. The SPORTS rat model of LA thrombi (Spontaneously-Running Tokushima-Shikoku), which have a unique characteristic of high voluntary wheel running, was previously established. The aim of the present study was to investigate how SPORTS rats develop LA thrombi. METHODS AND RESULTS: Nitric oxide (NO) produced from cardiovascular endothelial cells plays an important protective role in the local regulation of blood flow, vascular tone, and platelet aggregation. No evidence of atrial fibrillation or hypercoagulability in SPORTS rats regardless of age was found; however, SPORTS rats demonstrated endothelial dysfunction and a decrease of NO production from a young age. In addition, endothelial NO synthase activity was significantly decreased in the LA and thoracic aorta endothelia of SPORTS rats. While voluntary wheel running was able to intermittently increase NO levels, running did not statistically decrease the incidence of LA thrombi at autopsy. However, L-arginine treatment significantly increased NO production and provided protection from the development of LA thrombi in SPORTS rats. CONCLUSIONS: They present study results indicate that NO has an important role in the development of LA thrombus, and endothelia pathways could provide new targets of therapy to prevent LA thrombosis. - Masaki Morishima; Shintaro Tahara; Yan Wang; Toshihiko Kaku; Katsushige OnoJournal of Arrhythmia 26 2 111 - 118 2010年 [査読有り]
Background: The neurohypophyseal hormones oxytocin (OT) and [Arg8]-vasopressin (AVP) have recently been implicated in cardiac function. This study was designed to investigate actions of OT and AVP on regulation of the voltage-gated Ca2+ channel in cardiomyocytes. Methods and Results: Cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were stimulated with OT or AVP (10~8 M to 10~6 M) for 24-72 h, followed by real-time PCR and patch clamp studies. Although OT did not exert any modulatory effect on L-type Ca2+ channel current, as a short-term effect, stimulation of cardiomyocytes with OT but not AVP decreased the expression of CaV1.2 mRNA with a reduced L-type Ca2+ channel current. A transcription factor CREB mRNA expression was down-regulated by OT treatment, although T-type Ca2+ channels (CaV3.1, CaV3.2) were unaffected by OT or AVP. Conclusion: OT but not AVP down-regulates L-type Ca2+ channel expression through the inhibition of CREB transcriptional, suggesting a novel mechanism of OT action in the cardiac electrophysiology. © 2010, Japanese Heart Rhythm Society.

We established a new animal model called SPORTS (Spontaneously-Running Tokushima-Shikoku) rats, which show high-epinephrine (Epi) levels. Recent reports show that Epi activates adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in adipocytes. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) is the rate-limiting enzyme in fatty acid synthesis, and the enzymatic activity is suppressed when its Ser-79 is phosphorylated by AMPK. The aim of this study was to investigate the in vivo effect of Epi on ACC and abdominal visceral fat accumulation. We divided both 6-week male control and SPORTS rats into two groups, which were fed either normal diet or high fat and sucrose (HFS) diet for 16 weeks. At the end of diet treatment, retroperitoneal fat was collected for western blotting and histological analysis. Food intake was not different among the groups, but SPORTS rats showed significantly lower weight gain than control rats in both diet groups. After 10 weeks of diet treatment, glucose tolerance tests (GTTs) revealed that SPORTS rats had increased insulin sensitivity. Furthermore, SPORTS rats had lower quantities of both abdominal fat and plasma triglyceride (TG). In abdominal fat, elevated ACC Ser-79 phosphorylation was observed in SPORTS rats and suppressed by an antagonist of beta-adrenergic receptor (AR), propranolol, or an inhibitor of AMPK, Compound C. From these results, high level of Epi induced ACC phosphorylation mediated through beta-AR and AMPK signaling pathways in abdominal visceral fat of SPORTS rats, which may contribute to reduce abdominal visceral fat accumulation and increase insulin sensitivity. Our results suggest that beta-AR-regulated ACC activity would be a target for treating lifestyle-related diseases, such as obesity. - L. Kang; M. Q. Zheng; M. Morishima; Y. Wang; T. Kaku; K.

Background and purpose: Bepridil is an anti-arrhythmic agent with anti-electrical remodelling effects that target many cardiac ion channels, including the voltage-gated Na + channel. However, long-term effects of bepridil on the Na - channel remain unclear. We explored the long-term effect of bepridil on the Na + channel in isolated neonatal rat cardiomyocytes and in a heterologous expression system of human Na v1.5 channel. Experimental approach: Na + currents were recorded by whole-cell voltage-clamp technique. Na + channel message and protein were evaluated by real-time RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Key results: Treatment of cardiomyocytes with 10 μmol-L -1 bepridil for 24 h augmented Na + channel current (/ Na) in a dose- and time-dependent manner. This long-term effect of bepridil was mimicked or masked by application of W-7, a calmodulin inhibitor, but not KN93 [2-[N-(2- hydroxyethyl)-N-(4-methoxy benzenesulphonyl)]-amino-N-(4-chlorocinnamyl)N- methylbenzylamine], a Ca 2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase inhibitor. During inhibition of protein synthesis by cycloheximide, the / Na increase due to bepridil was larger than the increase without cycloheximide. Bepridil and W-7 significantly slowed the time course of Na v1.5 protein degradation in neonatal cardiomyocytes, although the mRNA levels of Nav1.5 were not modified. Bepridil and W-7 did not increase / Na any further in the presence of the proteasome inhibitor MGI32 [N[ (phenylmethoxy) carbonyl]-L-leucyl-N-[ (1S)-1-formyl-3-methylbutyl]-L-leucinamide]. Bepridil, W-7 and MC132 but not KN93 significantly decreased 20S proteasome activity in a concentration-dependent manner. Conclusions and implications: We conclude that long-term exposure of cardiomyocytes to bepridil at therapeutic concentrations inhibits calmodulin action, which decreased degradation of the Na v1.5 a-subunit, which in turn increased Na + current. © 2009 The British Pharmacological Society All rights reserved. - Masaki Morishima; Yan Wang; Yuko Akiyoshi; Shinji Miyamoto; Katsushige OnoEuropean journal of pharmacology 609 1-3 105 - 12 2009年05月 [査読有り]
Recently, it has been revealed that angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT(1)) antagonists act as antiarrhythmic agents and that the T-type Ca2+ channel plays an important role in arrhythmia. However, it remains unclear how the T-type Ca2+ channel expression system is involved in angiotensin II-mediated arrhythmogenesis in cardiomyocytes. In this study, we investigated the effect of telmisartan, an AT(1) receptor antagonist, on transcriptional regulation of T-type Ca2+ channel isoform (Ca(v)3.1 and Ca(v)3.2) expression and cardiac contractility using rat neonatal cardiomyocytes. Cultured cardiomyocytes were stimulated with telmisartan and/or angiotensin II for 24 h. T-type Ca2+ currents (I(Ca.T)) were then measured with the patch clamp technique, while Ca(v)3.1 and Ca(v)3.2 mRNA expression were assessed by real-time PCR. Expression of Ca(v)3.1 and Ca(v)3.2 mRNA as well as I(Ca.T) current density in cardiomyocytes increased significantly after long-term application of angiotensin II (24 h), which was accompanied by extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation. In contrast, telmisartan decreased Ca(v)3.1 and Ca(v)3.2 mRNA expression as well as I(Ca.T) in a dose-dependent manner in the absence of angiotensin II. In addition, the basal phosphorylation level of p38MAPK but not ERK1/2 was decreased by telmisartan in the absence of angiotensin II. Valsartan, an AT(1) receptor antagonist, did not mimic the action of telmisartan, while the action of telmisartan was completely blocked by valsartan. These results indicate that telmisartan attenuates T-type Ca2+ channel expression likely through p38MAPK activity in an agonist-independent manner, which suggests a novel pharmacological action of telmisartan. - Farzana Marni; Yan Wang; Masaki Morishima; Toru Shimaoka; Tomoko Uchino; Mingqi Zheng; Toshihiko Kaku; Katsushige OnoEndocrinology 150 2 879 - 88 2009年02月 [査読有り]
T-type Ca(2+) channel current (I(Ca,T)) plays an important role for spontaneous pacemaker activity and is involved in the progression of structural heart diseases. Estrogens are of importance for the regulation of growth and differentiation and function in a wide array of target tissues, including those in the cardiovascular system. The aim of this study was to elucidate the short-term and long-term effects of 17beta-estradiol (E(2)) on I(Ca,T) in cardiomyocytes. We employed in vivo and in vitro techniques to clarify E(2)-mediated modulation of heart rate (HR) in ovariectomized rats and I(Ca,T) in cardiomyocytes. Ovariectomy increased HR and E(2) supplement reduced HR in ovariectomized rats. Slowing of E(2)-induced HR was consistent with the deceleration of automaticity in E(2)-treated neonatal cardiomyocytes. Short-term application of E(2) did not have significant effects on I(Ca,T), whereas in cardiomyocytes treated with 10 nm E(2) for 24 h, estrogen receptor-independent down-regulation of peak I(Ca,T) and declination of Ca(V)3.2 mRNA were observed. Expression of a cardiac-specific transcription factor Csx/Nkx2.5 was also suppressed by E(2) treatment for 24 h. On the other hand, expression of Ca(V)3.1 mRNA was unaltered by E(2) treatment in this study. An ERK-1/2, 5 inhibitor, PD-98059, abolished the effects of E(2) on I(Ca,T) and Ca(V)3.2 mRNA as well as Csx/Nkx2.5 mRNA. These findings indicate that E(2) decreases Ca(V)3.2 I(Ca,T) through activation of ERK-1/2, 5, which is mediated by the suppression of Csx/Nkx2.5-dependent transcription, suggesting a genomic effect of E(2) as a negative chronotropic factor in the heart. - Yan Wang; Masaki Morishima; Mingqi Zheng; Tomoko Uchino; Kazuaki Mannen; Akira Takahashi; Yutaka Nakaya; Issei Komuro; Katsushige OnoJournal of molecular and cellular cardiology 42 6 1045 - 53 2007年06月 [査読有り]
The cardiac transcription factors Csx/Nkx2.5 and GATA4 play important roles in vertebrate heart development. Although mutations of Csx/Nkx2.5 or GATA4 are associated with various congenital heart diseases, their mechanism of action on cardiomyocyte function is not completely elucidated. In this study, we therefore investigated the actions of these transcription factors on the electrophysiological features and expression of ion channels in cardiomyocytes. Genes for transcription factors Csx/Nkx2.5 and GATA4 were transfected into rat neonatal cardiomyocytes by adenoviral infection. Action potentials, L-, T-type Ca(2+) channels and hyperpolarization-activated cation current (I(h)) of rat neonatal myocytes were recorded by patch clamp technique after adenoviral infection. Expression of ion channels was confirmed by real-time PCR. In Csx/Nkx2.5 overexpression myocytes, the spontaneous beating rate was markedly increased with an up-regulation of the Ca(v)3.2 T-type Ca(2+) channel, while in GATA4 overexpression myocytes, the T-type Ca(2+) channel was unchanged. On the other hand, the L-type Ca(2+) channel was down-regulated by both Csx/Nkx2.5 and GATA4 overexpression; the level of Ca(v)1.3 mRNA was dramatically decreased by Csx/Nkx2.5 overexpression. These results indicate that Csx/Nkx2.5 and GATA4 play important roles on the generation of pacemaker potentials modulating voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels in the neonatal cardiomyocyte. - Nagakatsu Harada; Akiko Kusuyama; Masaki Morishima; Kazuko Okada; Akira Takahashi; Yutaka NakayaMetabolism: clinical and experimental 56 4 517 - 22 2007年04月 [査読有り]
Bacterial endotoxin/lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cachexia is characterized by weight loss, anorexia, and a disturbance in lipid metabolism, namely, hypertriacylglycerolemia. The aim of this study in rats with acute endotoxicity induced by an injection of LPS was to investigate whether bezafibrate, a ligand for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha and a lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activator, improved cachectic conditions, including impaired lipid metabolism. Short-term administration of LPS in the rats resulted in impairment of triacylglycerol clearance in plasma after the intake of fresh cream. In addition, LPS increased whole-body energy expenditure, reduced fasting body weight and caused anorexia in the rats. Bezafibrate treatment resulted in significant improvements in LPS-induced dyslipidemia and anorexia, but had no effect on energy expenditure, respiratory quotient, or fasting body weight in the endotoxic rats. Administration of LPS was also associated with a decrease in the level of messenger RNA (mRNA) expression for LPL in white adipose tissue and skeletal muscle and an increase in the mRNA levels for uncoupling protein 3 in skeletal muscle. Bezafibrate treatment reversed the decline in LPL mRNA levels in white adipose tissue but not in the skeletal muscle tissue of the rats. The enhanced uncoupling protein 3 mRNA level in the endotoxic rats was not affected by bezafibrate treatment. Plasma concentration of leptin was increased by short-term LPS treatment. Bezafibrate decreased the level of plasma leptin significantly without affecting the level of leptin mRNA expression. These results suggest that bezafibrate may be an effective drug not only for impaired triacylglycerol metabolism, but also for anorexia in cachectic states induced by bacterial infections. - Masaki Morishima; Nagakatsu Harada; Sayuri Hara; Atsuko Sano; Hiromasa Seno; Akira Takahashi; Yusuke Morita; Yutaka NakayaNeuropsychopharmacology : official publication of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology 31 12 2627 - 38 2006年12月 [査読有り]
An understanding of neurological mechanisms for wheel running by rodents, especially with high exercise activity, would be applicable to a strategy for promotion of exercise motivation in humans. One of several brain regions that are candidates for the regulation of physical exercise is the hippocampus. Here we examined the running activity of Spontaneously-Running-Tokushima-Shikoku (SPORTS) rat, a new animal model for high levels of wheel-running activity, and its relation with the hippocampal norepinephrine (NE) system including the levels of NE, adrenergic receptors, and degradation enzymes for monoamines. In the hippocampus of SPORTS rats, the level of NE in extracellular fluid was augmented, whereas the level in the homogenate of the whole tissue was decreased even for sedentary conditions. Elevated extracellular NE caused downregulation of alpha(2)-adrenergic receptors in the hippocampus of SPORTS rats. Local administration of alpha(2)-adrenergic receptor antagonist yohimbine, but not of alpha(2)-agonist clonidine, into the hippocampus suppressed high running activity in SPORTS rats. The protein expression and the activity levels of monoamine oxidase A (MAOA), a critical enzyme for the degradation of NE, were decreased in the hippocampus of SPORTS rats to increase extracellular NE level. Thus, inhibition of oxidase activity in normal Wistar rats markedly increased wheel-running activity. These results indicate that decreased MAOA activity, elevation of extracellular NE, and alpha(2)-adrenergic receptors in the hippocampus determine the neural basis of the psychological regulation of exercise behavior in SPORTS rats. - Sachiko Chikahisa; Hiroyoshi Sei; Masaki Morishima; Atsuko Sano; Kazuyoshi Kitaoka; Yutaka Nakaya; Yusuke MoritaBehavioural brain research 169 2 312 - 9 2006年05月 [査読有り]
Music has been suggested to have a beneficial effect on various types of performance in humans. However, the physiological and molecular mechanism of this effect remains unclear. We examined the effect of music exposure during the perinatal period on learning behavior in adult mice, and measured the levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor, tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB), which play critical roles in synaptic plasticity. In addition, we measured the levels of 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), downstream targets of two main pathways in BDNF/TrkB signaling. Music-exposed mice completed a maze learning task with fewer errors than the white noise-exposed mice and had lower levels of BDNF and higher levels of TrkB and PDK1 in the cortex. MAPK levels were unchanged. Furthermore, TrkB and PDK1 protein levels in the cortex showed a significant negative correlation with the number of errors on the maze. These results suggest that perinatal exposure of mice to music has an influence on BDNF/TrkB signaling and its intracellular signaling pathway targets, including PDK1, and thus may induce improved learning and memory functions. - Yutaka Nakaya; Masaki Morishima-Yamato; Kaori Ishida; Nagakatsu Harada; Masayuki NakanoJournal of Medical Investigation 52 SUPPL. 244 2005年11月 [査読有り]
A stress-resistant rat model was introduced. SPORTS (Spontaneously-Running- Tokushima-Shikoku) rats showed significantly shorter time of immobility in the forced swim test compared to control Wister rats. Increase norepinephrine concentration secondary to decreased activity of monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) in hippocampus was observed in this model rats. This model rats are considered to be useful for studying the mechanism of psychological stress. - Masaki Morishima-Yamato; Fumiko Hisaoka; Sachiko Shinomiya; Nagakatsu Harada; Hideki Matoba; Akira Takahashi; Yutaka NakayaLife Sciences 77 5 551 - 561 2005年06月 [査読有り]
We generated an original Wistar line of rats that displayed increased levels of wheel running, which we named SPORTS (Spontaneously-Running-Tokushima- Shikoku). Male SPORTS rats ran voluntarily in a running wheel almost six times longer than male control Wistar rats, established without selection for their running activity. The running phenotype of female SPORTS rats was the same as female control Wistar rats. However, male offspring from the cross-mating between a female SPORTS rat and a male control rat also showed a similar level of hyper-running activity as the original SPORTS line. Compared to control rats, male SPORTS rats had lower levels of mean body weight, abdominal fat and plasma insulin after 4 weeks of running. It is likely that all these beneficial changes observed in the SPORTS rats reflected the increases in glucose disposal we observed in oral glucose tolerance tests carried out on the animals. We also found hyper-running caused a significant increase in skeletal muscle oxidative capacity, measured as the ratio of malate dehydrogenase to phosphofructokinase activity, an index of aerobic metabolism. These results indicate that the SPORTS rat may be a good animal model for determining the mechanisms responsible for up-regulation of running motivation, in addition to investigating changes in nutrient metabolism induced by high intensity exercise. © 2005 Elsevier Inc.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of taurine supplementation on respiratory gas exchange, which might reflect the improved metabolism of glucose and/or lipid in the type 2 diabetic Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Male OLETF rats (16 weeks of age) were randomly divided into two groups: unsupplemented group and taurine-supplemented (3% in drinking water) group. After 9 weeks of treatment, indirect calorimetry and insulin tolerance tests were conducted. The amounts of visceral fat pads, tissue glycogen, the blood concentrations of glucose, triacylglycerol, taurine, and electrolytes, and the level of hematocrit were compared between groups. A nondiabetic rat strain (Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka) was used as the age-matched normal control. RESULTS: The indirect calorimetry showed that the treatment of OLETF rats with taurine could reduce a part of postprandial glucose oxidation possibly responsible for the increase of triacylglycerol synthesis in the body. Taurine supplementation also improved hyperglycemia and insulin resistance and increased muscle glycogen content in the OLETF rats. Supplementation with taurine increased the blood concentration of taurine and electrolyte and fluid volume, all of which were considered to be related to the improvement of metabolic disturbance in OLETF rats. DISCUSSION: Taurine supplementation may be an effective treatment for glucose intolerance and fat/lipid accumulation observed in type 2 diabetes associated with obesity. These metabolic changes might be ascribed, in part, to the alteration of circulating blood profiles, where the improved hyperglycemia and/or the blood accumulation of taurine itself would play roles. - Eiko Takishita; Akira Takahashi; Nagakatsu Harada; Masaki Yamato; Masaki Yamato; Yutaka NakayaJournal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology 43 2 266 - 270 2004年02月 [査読有り]
5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is closely related to pathogenesis of angiopathy in type 2 diabetes. Acute and chronic effects of sarpogrelate hydrochloride (sarpogrelate), a 5-HT2 blocker, on glucose tolerance and insulin resistance were examined. Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats, a model of type 2 diabetes, were randomly assigned to 2 groups; those with 30 mg/kg BW/d sarpogrelate treatment of 4 weeks (HTB group) and without (control group). The glucose infusion rate was significantly increased in the HTB group compared with the control group. The blood glucose levels after oral glucose tolerance test and levels of plasma insulin and lipids were significantly lower in the HTB group than in the control group. To investigate mechanism of the improvement by sarpogrelate, acute effect of 5-HT and its blocking effect by sarpogrelate on blood levels of glucose were examined in 25-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats. Blood glucose levels were significantly increased by administration of 5-HT. This increase was reversed by pretreatment of sarpogrelate. A plasma adrenaline level also rose significantly by injection of the 5-HT and was prevented by pretreatment of sarpogrelate. These results indicate that sarpogrelate improves insulin resistance in type 2 diabetic rats. - Sachinobu Manabe; Ikuyo Kurroda; Kazuko Okada; Masaki Morishima; Miki Okamoto; Nagakatsu Harada; Akira Takahashi; Kentaro Sakai; Yutaka NakayaJournal of nutritional science and vitaminology 49 6 375 - 80 2003年12月 [査読有り]
Taurine is reported to increase contractility of skeletal muscle and cardiac myocyte, which can increase exercise performance. The present study aimed to clarify taurine's effect on chronic endurance exercise, especially accumulation of lactic acid (LA), a marker of fatigue and ability of aerobic exercise, and urinary secretion of 3-methylhistidine (3-MH), a marker of muscle breakdown in rats. After exercise blood levels of LA and urinary excretion of 3-MH were significantly increased and this increase was significantly less in those with chronic treatment of taurine. Taurine treatment also significantly decreased fat accumulation and blood levels of cholesterol and triglyceride, which might improve insulin resistance and utilization of fat and glucose. These results indicate taurine treatment is useful for reducing physical fatigue and muscle damage during exercise training in rats, presumably due to antioxidant property and improvement of muscle and cardiac functions by taurine.

- 日本学術振興会:科学研究費助成事業 基盤研究(C)研究期間 : 2020年04月 -2023年03月代表者 : 森島 真幸心房細動の発症や持続は、心筋に発現するイオンチャネル遺伝子の発現異常による電気的リモデリングが重要な原因となるが、その詳細な成立機序については解明されていない。今年度の研究では、高脂肪食を負荷したマウスの心筋障害に対してEPAは保護作用を示すかどうかについて検証した。C57BL/6マウスに60%高脂肪食(HF)を8週間負荷し同時にEPAを8週間経口投与した際の心機能の変化をみた。HF群では有意な体重増加と心筋収縮力の低下が確認されたが、EPAの慢性投与により部分的な改善が認められた。HF群の心房筋、心室筋におけるIL-10, IL-1b, TNF-aのmRNA発現はControl群で有意に増加したが、EPAによる改善効果はIL-10 mRNA発現でのみ認められた。一方、心房筋におけるL型カルシウムチャネルの発現はEPA投与により有意に増加することが判明した。さらに、マウス心筋細胞を用いた細胞免疫染色の結果から、EPAの投与によりCav1.2発現は有意に増加することが確認された。以上の結果から、EPAは高脂肪食負荷により障害を受けた心筋細胞に対して、イオンチャネル遺伝子の発現を増加させることで心筋の電気的リモデリング抑制に作用する可能性が示唆された。

- 日本学術振興会:科学研究費助成事業 基盤研究(C)研究期間 : 2015年04月 -2018年03月代表者 : 森島 真幸; 小野 克重本研究では個体レベルでmicroRNA(miR-30d)が心房細動の病態形成にどのように関わるかを解析する目的で、心筋特異的miR-30d過剰発現ラットを作製した。陽性個体が数匹得られたが、miR-30d陽性のオスはより脆弱で短命であるため継代及び系の樹立に時間を要することがわかった。このため、ラットの作製に並行して細胞内カルシウム過負荷病態モデルを作製し、病態心におけるmiR-30dの発現増加メカニズムの解析と病態形成過程における血漿中miR-30d発現量の定量を行った。その結果、miR-30d発現量は血漿中並びに心房筋において病態の悪化に伴い増加することがわかった。
- 日本学術振興会:科学研究費助成事業 国際共同研究加速基金(国際共同研究強化)研究期間 : 2016年 -2018年代表者 : 森島 真幸; シン ハープリート我々は、ヒト持続性心房細動患者の心房筋でmicroRNA-30d(miR-30d)が過剰発現することを発見しその発現は細胞内Ca2+過負荷により亢進されることを報告した。しかし、miR-30dの生体内における発現動態は明らかにされていない。そこで本研究では、心筋特異的miR-30d過剰発現ラット、並びに細胞内Ca2+過負荷モデルラットを作成し心臓組織(心房・心室)と循環血中(血漿)のmiR-30d発現量を解析することで、病態心におけるmiR-30dの発現増加メカニズムを明らかにすることを目的とした。
- 日本学術振興会:科学研究費助成事業 若手研究(B)研究期間 : 2012年04月 -2015年03月代表者 : 森島 真幸我々が構築した世界初の高自発運動モデル動物SPORTSを実験のツールとして用い、運動習慣の制御機構だけでなく、心筋肥大の形成機構を同時に解析することを本事業の目的とした。SPORTSラットにおいては、運動による血圧増加を伴わず生理的な刺激による心筋の成熟機構とは異なる機序で心筋肥大が形成されていることが判明した。さらに、脳内モノアミンは運動習慣の制御のみならず、心拍数制御や心筋の肥大形成に関与することで、自発運動に適応する心臓循環機能を獲得することに貢献する可能性が示唆された。

- 日本学術振興会:科学研究費助成事業 若手研究(B)研究期間 : 2009年 -2011年代表者 : 森島 真幸; 中屋 豊本研究は、生まれつき自発運動への欲求が正常Wistarラットよりも強い自然発症の高運動性モデルラットSPORTS(Spontaneousy Running Tokushjma-Shikoku ; Wistar系)を実験のツールとして用いて、運動意欲の制御に関わる脳内分子基盤の解明を目指すと同時に、心臓自律神経活動への影響を解析することにより、神経性因子を介した自発運動の制御と心機能の連関作用を生理学的に実証することを目的とした。申請者は、これまで脳内モノアミン酸化酵素A(MAOA)の活性低下がラットの自発運動を誘発していることを明らかにしてきた(Morishima et al., Neuropsychopharmacology 2006)。本研究では、安全で有益な運動不足解消法の開発の為に、運動負荷を行う上で心機能の重要なパラメータである心臓自律神経活動の評価を縦列して行う実験系を確立し、脳内モノアミンと心機能解析を同時に行った。その結果、SPORTSラットは安静時において早い心拍を示すが自発運動時には心臓交感神経活動(L/H比)を極度に高めないことを見出した。さらに、対照ラットにモノアミン酸化酵素A(MAOA)阻害薬を投与し脳海馬モノアミン量を定量したところ、SPORTSラットと同程度に海馬ノルエピネフリン放出量が増加し、自発運動量や心拍数の増加が認められた。また、心拍変動解析の結果、MAOA阻害薬投与ラットでは、SPORTSラットと同様に心拍数の増加の認められた夜間活動時間帯で交感神経活動指標であるL/H比が有意に上昇していたが、自発運動により是正されることが判明した。本事業により、自発運動を引き起こす因子(脳内ノルエピネフリン)が生体にとって質的良好な運動基盤分子である可能性が示唆された。本研究の成果は、運動療法を必要とする心疾患患者だけでなく健康な個人に対しても、運動の効果を最大限に発揮できるシステムの開発に貢献することが期待される。
