    Article Snippet: Neurohumoral stimulation of Gq-coupled receptors has been proposed as a central mechanism in the pathogenesis of diabetic heart disease.. The resulting contractile dysfunction is closely related to abnormal intracellular Ca handling with functional defects of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR).. The present study was therefore designed to determine the role of Gq-protein signaling via Ga11 and Gaq in diabetes for the induction of functional and structural changes in the Ca release complex of the SR. An experimental type 1-diabetes was induced in wild type, Ga11 knockout, and Ga11/q-knockout mice by injection of streptozotocin.

    Protective effects of sorcin on Ca 2+ -ATPase activity ( A , B ), cell viability ( C ), ROS production ( D ) and apoptosis ( E , F ), in human neuroblastoma cells. SH-SY5Y cells were treated without or with 5 μM Aβ1-42 or 10 nM tau in the absence and presence of 1 μM sorcin for 24 h, as detailed in the Methods Section. ( A ) Ca 2+ -ATPase activity was assayed in 10 μg of membranes, previously treated as indicated above.

    Blot overlay assays of the interaction between sorcin and PMCA, Aβ and tau. ( A ) PMCA (0.5 μg) and sorcin (1 μg) were run in 10% SDS gel, transferred to PVDF membranes and incubated sequentially with 0.5 µg PMCA and the a-PMCA antibody 5F10. The panel shows binding of PMCA to sorcin. ( B ) Sorcin (1 ug), Aβ (3 µg) and tau (3 µg) were run in three gradient 10–20% gels, transferred to PVDF and incubated sequentially with 3 µg Aβ or 3 µg tau, and with a-Aβ1-42 or a-tau antibodies, as indicated. The panel shows binding of both Aβ and tau to sorcin. It also shows a Western blot of pure sorcin with the a-sorcin antibody, as control. Immunoblots are representatives from three different assays.

    Figure Lengend Snippet: Blot overlay assays of the interaction between sorcin and PMCA, Aβ and tau. ( A ) PMCA (0.5 μg) and sorcin (1 μg) were run in 10% SDS gel, transferred to PVDF membranes and incubated sequentially with 0.5 µg PMCA and the a-PMCA antibody 5F10. The panel shows binding of PMCA to sorcin. ( B ) Sorcin (1 ug), Aβ (3 µg) and tau (3 µg) were run in three gradient 10–20% gels, transferred to PVDF and incubated sequentially with 3 µg Aβ or 3 µg tau, and with a-Aβ1-42 or a-tau antibodies, as indicated. The panel shows binding of both Aβ and tau to sorcin. It also shows a Western blot of pure sorcin with the a-sorcin antibody, as control. Immunoblots are representatives from three different assays.

    The scheme summarizes the interactions of sorcin with PMCA (red) and SERCA (blue), in the presence of Ca 2+ that lead to Ca 2+ -ATPase activation. Sorcin also interacts with AD markers, such as tau and Aβ, preventing their binding to PMCA and their inhibitory effects on PMCA activity.

    a Sorcin expression levels were analyzed by western blot and quantitative real-time PCR. Data are shown as the mean ± SEM ( n = 3). *** p < 0.001, shRNA-Ctrl cells vs. shRNA-FliI cells. b After cotransfection of vector or sorcin with D1ER, FRET signals were measured. Data are shown as the mean ± SEM. *** p < 0.001, shRNA-Ctrl cells vs. shRNA-FliI cells. c Ctrl- and FliI-KD cells were treated with 50 nM TG for 6 h following expression of vector or sorcin. Cell lysates were analyzed by western blotting for phospho-PERK, phospho-IREα, GRP78/BiP, CHOP, sorcin, FliI, and tubulin.
