Atrial arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation (AF), are a major mortality risk and a leading cause of stroke. The IP3 signalling pathway has been proposed as an atrial specific target for AF therapy, and atrial IP3 signalling has been linked to the activation of calcium sensitive adenylyl cyclases AC1 and AC8. Here we investigated the involvement of AC1 in the response of intact mouse atrial tissue and isolated guinea pig atrial and sinoatrial node (SAN) cells to the -adrenoceptor agonist phenylephrine (PE) using the selective AC1 inhibitor ST034307. The maximum rate change of spontaneously beating mouse right atrial tissue exposed to PE was reduced from 14.46 % to 8.17% (P = 0.005) in the presence of 1 M ST034307, whereas the increase in tension generated in paced left atrial tissue in the presence of PE was not inhibited by ST034307 (Control = 14.20 %, ST034307 = 16.32 %; P > 0.05). Experiments were performed using isolated guinea pig atrial and SAN cells loaded with Fluo-5F-AM to record changes in calcium transient amplitude (CaT) generated by 10M PE in the presence and absence of 1M ST034307. ST034307 significantly reduced the beating rate of SAN cells (0.34-fold decrease; P = 0.004), but did not result in an inhibition of CaT amplitude increase in response to PE in atrial cells. The results presented here demonstrate the involvement of AC1 in the downstream response of atrial pacemaker activity to -adrenoreceptor stimulation and IP3R calcium release.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
