"In this way, hERG inactivation allows sodium and calcium conductances to maintain ventricular depolarization for more than a whopping 300 ms (compared to <3 ms for a neuronal action potential)."

reach
"We previously demonstrated that the stimulation of Kv11.1 activity produces significant Ca entry in breast cancer cells [35]."

reach
"Further, we showed that HERG overexpression in C C myotubes also produces an increase in MuRF1 protein abundance and, interestingly, in both basal [Ca ]i and calpain activity ."

reach
"The cytotoxic chemotherapeutics doxorubicin and epirubicin, known to cause cardiomyopathy, preferentially reduced Ca (i) (2+) transient amplitude and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca (2+) content, whereas Torsade de Pointes (TdP) inducers and potent hERG channel blockers (amiodarone, cisapride, dofetilide, E-4031 and terfenadine) predominately suppressed diastolic Ca (i) (2+) and contraction rate, and prolonged Ca (i) (2+) transient duration."

reach
"The data support that ECCE contributes to the HERG-induced increase in [Ca ]i in C C myotubes; however, HERG may also modulate other Ca entry pathways."

reach
"Using C2C12 myotubes transduced with HERG-encoded virus, we have shown that overexpression of the HERG channel increases basal intracellular calcium concentration and calpain activity 3 ."

reach
"Instead, using the SERCA blocking agent thapsigargin with our Fura2 assay, we discovered that the HERG-mediated increase in calcium occurs through modulation of intracellular calcium stores."

reach
"38 This is because hERG block delays repolarization, increasing the probability of L-type calcium current triggering extra beats called early afterdepolarizations (EADs), which can initiate TdP."

reach
"Here we demonstrate that HERG overexpression enhances the increase in [Ca ]i that occurs with caffeine treatment in myotubes; and this effect is blocked by inhibitory concentrations of ryanodine, suggesting that HERG modulates RyR1 activity."

reach
"However, single cell calcium imaging reveals that the HERG-mediated increase in calcium is inhibited by treatment with the IP3 receptor antagonist Xestospongin-C."

reach
"Additionally, IP3 signaling could also be responsible for the HERG enhanced increase in [Ca ]i during Tg treatment."

reach
"Blockage of hERG channel by BmKKx2 causing the Ca 2+ concentration decrease during the erythroid differentiation of K562 cells."

reach
"Bepridil is a potent hERG blocker that also blocks L-type calcium and peak and late sodium currents at higher concentrations (Crumb et al., 2016)."

reach
"In this work, the inhibition of hERG channel currents by scorpion toxin BmKKx2 was found to decrease the intracellular Ca 2+ concentration during the differentiation process of K562 cells (XREF_FIG)."

reach
"In addition we have also reveal that hERG1 stimulation induces an increase in intracellular calcium that is required for cyclin E2 degradation."

reach
"We further postulate that HERG overexpression may constitutively enhance SOCE activity perhaps by lowering the concentration/availability of free calcium in the SR and/or by the decreased inhibition of STIM1 resulting from lowered Casq1."

reach
"Next, we analyzed by immunoblotting potential hERG stimulated signaling pathways in K562 cells by analyzing the activities of the Ca 2+ effector proteins CaMKIIs (Ca 2+ / calmodulin dependent protein kinase II isoforms) and their downstream target cdc2 (cyclin dependent kinase 1, CDK1) (XREF_FIG)."

reach
"Importantly, hERG1 inhibition by E4031 (1 microM) prevented radiation induced CaMKIIs activation and cdc2 inactivation (XREF_FIG, 5 th -8 th lane and XREF_FIG, closed bars) suggesting that Ca 2+ signals modulated by hERG1 were required for radiation induced CaMKIIs activation and inhibition of cdc2."

reach
"Indeed, the pure hERG channel blocker, dofetilide, was shown to increase both QTc (heart rate-corrected QT) and J-T peak c (heart rate-corrected J-T peak ) intervals, while the strong L-type Ca 2+ and[MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"

reach
"Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that, stimulation of hERG1 activity could promote calcium influx in breast cancer cells."

reach
"Moreover, the KCNH2 potassium channels may directly regulate the characteristics of sodium and calcium channels XREF_BIBR."

reach
"Having established that NS1643 treatment increases intracellular calcium levels, we investigated on the role of hERG1 driven calcium entry on cyclin E2 degradation."

reach
"It has been hypothesized that the reason may be the higher expression of L-type Ca 2+ channels observed invitro in hiPSC-CMs compared to adult cells, reiterated in : " Bepridil is a potent hERG blocker that also blocks L-type calcium and peak and late sodium currents at higher concentrations."

reach
"Given the potentially important role of Ca in modulation of skeletal muscle health and atrophy, we sought to understand the mechanism whereby HERG expression elevates basal [Ca ]i in C C myotubes ."

reach
"As it is dependent on Ca 2+ transient, the EMw was also more sensitive than AP prolongation in distinguishing between pure hERG blockers and multichannel compounds also blocking the calcium current."

reach
"HERG contributes to phase three repolarization by opposing the depolarizing Ca 2+ influx during the plateau phase [6]."

reach
"In addition, the blockage of hERG potassium channel by toxin BmKKx2 was able to decrease the intracellular Ca 2+ concentration during the K562 cell differentiation, providing an insight into the mechanism of hERG potassium channel regulating this cellular process."

reach
"Thus, although HERG is inducing a greater increase in [Ca ]i in response to depolarization, this effect does not appear to be the result of increased Cav1.1 activity at 48 h after transduction."
