Abstract:
Biomedical Sciences<br>Ph.D.<br>The high metabolic demand of the heart makes it essential that an efficient and tightly controlled system be in place to regulate energy production. Contractility is mediated by a variable flux in intracellular calcium (iCa2+), which is proposed to be integrated into mitochondria to regulate cardiac energetics. Moreover, mitochondrial Ca2+ (mCa2+)-overload is known to activate the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) and induce cell death. However, the true function of cardiac mCa2+ in physiology remains unknown. Recent studies have reported that th

Hypoxia inducible factor-1&alpha; (HIF-1&alpha;) plays a critical role in the oxygen homeostasis of all metazoans. HIF-1&alpha; is a master transcriptional regulator which coordinates the adaptive response to low oxygen tension. Through activation of a plethora of downstream target genes, HIF-1&alpha; facilitates oxygenation by promoting angiogenesis and blood vessel dilation, in addition to modulating metabolic pathways to inhibit oxidative phosphorylation and promote glycolytic energy production.

More recent techniques have allowed assessment of myocardial steatosis using <sup>1</sup>H-MRS and tissue oxygenation using blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) CMR.

The cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) is a Ca2+ ion channel found in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), an intracellular membranous Ca2+ storage system. It is well known that a destabilization of RyR2 can lead to a Ca2+ flux out of the SR, which results in an overload of intracellular Ca2+; this can also lead to arrhythmias and heart failure. The catecholamines play a large role in the regulation of RyR2; stimulation of the Beta-adrenergic receptor on the cell membrane can lead to a hyperphosphorylation of RyR2, making it more leaky to Ca2+.
