1 Maternal nicotine exposure leads to decreased cardiac protein disulfide isomerase and impaired mitochondrial function in male rat offspring. Nicotine prolyl 4-hydroxylase subunit beta Rattus norvegicus
2 Recently, our laboratory demonstrated that nicotine impairs placental protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) triggering an increase in endoplasmic reticulum stress, leading us to hypothesize that this may also occur in the heart. Nicotine prolyl 4-hydroxylase subunit beta Rattus norvegicus
3 Recently, our laboratory demonstrated that nicotine impairs placental protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) triggering an increase in endoplasmic reticulum stress, leading us to hypothesize that this may also occur in the heart. Nicotine prolyl 4-hydroxylase subunit beta Rattus norvegicus
4 At 3 months of age, nicotine-exposed offspring had 45% decreased PDI levels in the absence of endoplasmic reticulum stress. Nicotine prolyl 4-hydroxylase subunit beta Rattus norvegicus
5 Collectively, this study suggests that perinatal nicotine exposure decreases PDI, which can promote oxidative damage and mitochondrial damage, associated with a premature decline in cardiac function. Nicotine prolyl 4-hydroxylase subunit beta Rattus norvegicus
