| Popis | Numerous ligands of sigma receptors are known to prolong the QT interval and therefore to cause a variety of arrhythmias. High affinity binding sites for the prototypical sigma ligand haloperidol were found in membranes of cardiac myocytes from adult rats. Activation of sigma 1 receptor leads to a release of calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum that follows increased synthesis of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3). We studied the effect of long-term haloperidol treatment on the expression of sigma 1 receptors, IP3 receptors of type 1 and 2 in the individual parts of the rat heart, in isolated rat cardiomyocytes and in PC12 cells. We have found that prolonged treatment with haloperidol significantly increased mRNA levels of sigma 1 receptors in both atria and ventricles. Sigma 1 receptor s mRNA was increased also in isolated cardiomyocytes. Haloperidol treatment affects the expression of IP3 receptors of type 1 and 2 in cardiac atria, but not in cardiac ventricles. |
