Fibroblast activation protein and chronic liver disease.
Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is the member of Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV (DPIV) gene family that is most similar to DPIV. Four members of this family, DPIV, FAP, DP8 and DP9 possess a rare catalytic activity, hydrolysis of a prolyl bond two residues from the substrate N terminus. Crystal structures show that the soluble form of FAP comprises two domains, an alpha/beta-hydrolase domain and a...
متن کاملLack of specificity of fibroblast-specific protein 1 in cardiac remodeling and fibrosis.
Understanding the role of fibroblasts in pathologic conditions is hampered by the absence of specific markers. Fibroblast-specific protein (FSP)1 has been suggested as a fibroblast-specific marker in normal and fibrotic tissues; FSP1 reporter mice and FSP1-Cre-driven gene deletion are considered reliable strategies to investigate fibroblast biology. Because fibroblasts are abundant in normal an...
متن کاملThe Effect of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Left Ventricular Remodeling in Men and Women Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
Objective: Left ventricular (LV) remodeling is associated with increased morbidity and mortality therefore, interventions that halt or reverse ventricular remodeling are expected to prevent these clinical outcomes. The aim of the study was to assess the effects of cardiac rehabilitation program on cardiac remodeling process in patients with coronary artery disease and then compare the results b...
متن کاملVascular Remodeling in Cardiovascular Disease
The main way of treating symptomatic atherosclerosis is angioplasty with stent placement. This intervention injures the vascular wall, causing endothelial loss, inflammation and intimal hyperplasia (IH), which frequently cause restenosis, a de novo obstruction of the lumen. To prevent this complication, Drug Eluting Stents have been coated with antiproliferative agents. Although they have prove...
متن کاملCardiac remodeling in women athletes and implications for cardiovascular screening.
For a long time girls and women in general were discouraged from participating in sports, exhaustive training and competition. The underlying idea was that physical activity could harm the reproductive system diminishing fertility. Time passed and the evolution of female performance in sports and mothers who became world champions persuaded sports scientists to question these concepts. Another ...
