Digesting the remodeled heart: role of lysosomal cysteine proteases in heart failure.
Of the many proteinases present in the myocardium, members of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family have received most attention. However, the cysteine proteases and their inhibitors have now been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiac remodeling in the hypertrophied and failing heart. Cathepsins, cysteine proteases of the papain family, are optimally active in the acidic pH of lysosomes...
متن کاملDigesting GWAS
nce upon a time, medical genetics was a relaOtively straightforward business: one gene—one protein—one disease was sufficient to explain most inherited disease and was neatly in keeping with Gregor Mendel’s discovery of alleles with his famous peas. The concept remains a good starting point but the biology of life is somewhat more complex, and increasingly we have become impressed and perplexed...
متن کاملThe effect of exercise training on transverse tubules in normal, remodeled, and reverse remodeled hearts.
The response of transverse (T)-tubules to exercise training in health and disease remains unclear. Therefore, we studied the effect of exercise training on the density and spacing of left ventricle cardiomyocyte T-tubules in normal and remodeled hearts that associate with detubulation, by confocal laser scanning microscopy. First, exercise training in normal rats increased cardiomyocyte volume ...
متن کاملMyocyte contractile function is intact in the post-infarct remodeled rat heart despite molecular alterations.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the cellular mechanisms underlying global and regional LV dysfunction in the post-infarct (MI) remodeled rat hearts. METHODS LV remodeling and function were quantified by echocardiography, morphometry, in vivo hemodynamics, and isolated perfused heart studies in 6 weeks post-MI and sham-operated rats. LV myocytes from sham and MI hearts were used for morphometric and ...
متن کاملDigesting dietary miRNA therapeutics
Hippocrates famously advised, " Let food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food. " Numerous plant-derived compounds are used as cancer therapeutics including antimitotics, topoisomerase inhibitors, and kinase inhibitors. Here we will review emerging evidence suggesting that diet derived small RNAs may be an inexpenisive, non-invasive and affordable way to deliver cancer treatments. RNA in...
