Title：PreliminarystudyontheeffectsofTRPM7downregulationoncardiacfunctioninrats

Introduction：

TRPM7isanon-selectivecationchannelthatplaysanimportantroleintheregulationofintracellularcalciumandmagnesiumhomeostasis,aswellasinthephysiologicalfunctionsofavarietyoftissues,includingthecardiovascularsystem.StudieshaveshownthatTRPM7ishighlyexpressedincardiacmyocytesandisinvolvedintheregulationofcardiacexcitabilityandcontractility.OverexpressionofTRPM7hasbeenlinkedtocardiachypertrophyandheartfailure,whileitsdownregulationhasbeenshowntoimprovecardiacfunctioninanimalmodels.However,theprecisemechanismsunderlyingtheseeffectsarenotfullyunderstood.

Objectives：

TheaimofthisstudyistoinvestigatethefunctionalconsequencesofTRPM7downregulationinratcardiacmyocytesandtoexplorethepossiblemechanismsinvolved.

Methods：

Ratcardiacmyocyteswillbeisolatedandculturedinvitro.TheexpressionlevelofTRPM7willbedownregulatedusingsmallinterferingRNAtechnology.TheeffectsofTRPM7downregulationoncardiacfunctionwillbeevaluatedbymeasuringtheactionpotentialduration,calciumtransients,andcontractilityparametersofthemyocytes.Theexpressionandphosphorylationlevelsofkeyregulatoryproteinsinvolvedincardiacexcitation-contractioncouplingandhypertrophysignalingpathwayswillalsobeexamined.

ExpectedResults：

WeexpecttoobserveanimprovementincardiacfunctionfollowingTRPM7downregulation,asevidencedbyincreasedcalciumhandlingandcontractilityparameters.Wealsoexpecttoseeadecreaseinthephosphorylationlevelsofkeyhypertrophysignalingproteins,suggestingthatTRPM7downregulationmaypreventcardiachypertrophyandheartfailure.

Significance：

TheresultsofthisstudymayprovidevaluableinsightintotheroleofTRPM7inthedevelopmentofcardiacdysfunctionandmayinformthed
