Tumour necrosis factor α alters the expression of connexin43, connexin40, and connexin37, in human umbilical vein endothelial cells

HVM van Rijen, MJA van Kempen, S Postma… - Cytokine, 1998 - Elsevier
Tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α) plays an important role in orchestrating inflammatory
responses with the vascular endothelium as main target cell type, and was found to promote …

Physiology of cardiovascular gap junctions

TAB van Veen, HVM van Rijen… - Cardiovascular Gap …, 2006 - karger.com
Cardiac gap junction channels are crucial for conduction of the electric impulse. Between
cardiomyocytes there exist gap junctions constructed from connexin40 (Cx40), Cx43 and Cx45…

Differences in distribution of fibrosis in the ventricles underlie dominant arrhythmia vulnerability of the right ventricle in senescent mice

M Noorman, HVM van Rijen, TAB van Veen… - Netherlands Heart …, 2008 - Springer
Mutations that are supposed to affect right (RV) and left ventricular (LV) electrophysiology
equally, often reveal dominant conduction slowing and arrhythmia vulnerability in RV. In this …

Quantitative analysis of dual whole-cell voltage-clamp determination of gap junctional conductance

HVM Van Rijen, R Wilders, ACG Van Ginneken… - Pflügers Archiv, 1998 - Springer
The dual whole-cell voltage-clamp technique is used widely for determination of kinetics
and conductance of gap junctions. The use of this technique may, however, occasion to …

Adrenergic regulation of conduction velocity in cultures of immature cardiomyocytes

TP De Boer, HVM Van Rijen… - Netherlands Heart …, 2008 - Springer
During cardiac maturation, increased exposure of the heart to circulating catecholamines
correlates with increased conduction velocity and growth of the heart. We used an in vitro …

Cardiac action potentials, ion channels, and gap junctions

JMT de Bakker, HVM van Rijen - Cardiac Electrophysiology Methods and …, 2010 - Springer
Interplay between various ion channels in the membrane of cardiomyocytes is responsible
for depolarization and repolarization of the heart cells, whereas cell-to-cell coupling, …
