Background

  • Ceramide-enriched

microdomains ASM

  • Oxotremorine
  • CD38
  • 45 kDa

sphingomyelin ceramide de novo

lipid rafts

Hypothesis

  • Lipid raft membrane microdomains are

involved in oxotremorine-induced CD38 activation in bovine coronary myocytes.

CD38

  • xotremorine

Lipid raft platform

cADPR hydrolysis Calcium release vasoconstriction

Methods

  • DMT Myograph: tension recording studies of fresh

bovine myocardial vasculature

  • Vasoconstrictor: Oxotremorine (20 uM, 40 uM, 60 uM,

80 uM)

  • Drugs: Methyl-ß-cyclodextrin (1mM), desipramine (0.1

mM), filipin (1µg/mL), nicotinamide ( 6mM), treated for 15 minutes

Discussion

  • CD38 as receptor and enzyme
  • ASM inhibition
  • Role of ceramide in CD38 activation?
  • Raft aggregation and oxotremorine

stimulation

Questions and Future Directions

  • Inhibitor concentrations
  • Oxotremorine dosage levels
  • Myograph-specific conditions?
