Selective deletion of long but not short Cypher isoforms leads to late-onset dilated cardiomyopathy.
Cypher long (CypherL) and short (CypherS) isoforms are distinguished from each other by the presence and absence of three C-terminal LIM domains, respectively. Cypher isoforms are developmentally regulated, and mutations affecting both long and short isoforms are linked to muscle disease in humans. Given these data, we hypothesized that various Cypher isoforms play overlapping and unique roles ...
متن کاملCardiac-specific ablation of Cypher leads to a severe form of dilated cardiomyopathy with premature death.
Accumulating data suggest a link between alterations/deficiencies in cytoskeletal proteins and the progression of cardiomyopathy and heart failure, although the molecular basis for this link remains unclear. Cypher/ZASP is a cytoskeletal protein localized in the sarcomeric Z-line. Mutations in its encoding gene have been identified in patients with isolated non-compaction of the left ventricula...
متن کاملPhospholamban R14 deletion results in late-onset, mild, hereditary dilated cardiomyopathy.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this research was to determine the phenotypic spectrum associated with phospholamban gene (PLN) mutations. BACKGROUND Inheritance contributes to the development of dilated cardiomyopathy. Mutations in the gene encoding PLN have been associated with dilated cardiomyopathy characterized by early onset and the presence of lethal ventricular arrhythmias. METHODS We scr...
متن کاملPerturbation of NCOA6 leads to dilated cardiomyopathy.
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a progressive heart disease characterized by left ventricular dilation and contractile dysfunction. Although many candidate genes have been identified with mouse models, few of them have been shown to be associated with DCM in humans. Germline depletion of Ncoa6, a nuclear hormone receptor coactivator, leads to embryonic lethality and heart defects. However, it i...
متن کاملTIMP-3 deficiency leads to dilated cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Despite the mounting clinical burden of heart failure, the biomolecules that control myocardial tissue remodeling are poorly understood. TIMP-3 is an endogenous inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that has been found to be deficient in failing human myocardium. We hypothesized that TIMP-3 expression prevents maladaptive tissue remodeling in the heart, and accordingly, its d...
