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

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

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

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

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

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 ."
