Mechanical stress-induced cardiac hypertrophy: mechanisms and signal transduction pathways.
Cardiac hypertrophy is a well known response to increased hemodynamic load. Mechanical stress is considered to be the trigger inducing a growth response in the overloaded myocardium. Furthermore, mechanical stress induces the release of growth-promoting factors, such as angiotensin II, endothelin-1, and transforming growth factor-beta, which provide a second line of growth induction. In this re...
متن کاملSignal transduction and mechanical stress.
Bone undergoes a constant process of remodeling in which mass is retained or lost in response to the relative activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Weight-bearing exercise-which is critical for retaining skeletal integrity-promotes osteoblast function, whereas a lack of mechanical stimulation, as seen during spaceflight or prolonged bed rest, can lead to osteoporosis. Thus, understanding mec...

متن کاملThe role of mechanical stress in skeletal myocytes: MAPK signal transduction pathways
1 Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology Rice University Houston, TX 77005 [email protected] The idea of signal transduction provides the necessary link between a stimulus from the external environment of a cell, and the intricacies that occur among its intracellular components. The proteins embedded in the plasma membrane of a cell assist in this transduction in that they act as molecular an...
متن کاملEngineering Signal Transduction Pathways
Cells respond to their environment by sensing signals and translating them into changes in gene expression. In recent years, synthetic networks have been designed in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems to create new functionalities and for specific applications. In this review, we discuss the challenges associated with engineering signal transduction pathways. Furthermore, we address advant...
