Experiment

Energy expenditure in WT and RyR1 R163C mice during acute heat stress
Summary Data Summary
Investigator Pessah, Isaac
Description Whole body calorimetry will be used to measure energy expenditure and how this
is altered by acute heat stress. Blood and tissues will be dissected to explore
molecular changes involved in heat stress.

MH is a life-threatening pharmacogenetic syndrome, which occurs when susceptible
individuals are exposed to triggering agents, such as halogenated inhalation
anesthetics and/or depolarizing muscle relaxants. MH susceptibility is
associated with a dysfunction of regulation of intracellular resting Ca2+
concentration ([Ca2+]r) and is characterized by the occurrence of a robust
increase in [Ca2+]r in response to exposure to halothane. In more than 70% of
humans with MH susceptibility (MHS) the trait is linked to one of >185 mutations
within RYR1 located on ch19q13.1, the gene that encodes the type 1 skeletal
isoform of the ryanodine receptor (RYR1), the primary Ca2+ release channel in
the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). In addition, mutations in CACNA1S on ch1q31–32,
which codes for CaV1.1 have also been found in 2% of MHS individuals.
