Oncostatin M differentially regulates CXC chemokines in mouse cardiac fibroblasts.
Ischemia-reperfusion injury in the heart is characterized by marked infiltration of neutrophils in the myocardial interstitial space. Studies in human, canine, and murine models have revealed oncostatin M (OSM) expression in infiltrating leukocytes. In an effort to assess possible roles of OSM in the myocardium, we used cardiac fibroblasts (mCFs) isolated from adult mouse heart to determine whe...
متن کاملForce regulates smooth muscle actin in cardiac fibroblasts.
Chronic ventricular pressure overload can regulate expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA) in cardiac fibroblasts, but it is unclear if force alone or the concomitant activity of angiotensin II is the principal regulatory factor. To test if SMA mRNA and protein in rat cardiac fibroblasts are regulated directly by force, we first induced SMA expression in cultured cells and then applied ma...
متن کاملCardiac fibroblasts as sentinel cells in cardiac tissue: Receptors, signaling pathways and cellular functions.
Cardiac fibroblasts (CF) not only modulate extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins homeostasis, but also respond to chemical and mechanical signals. CF express a variety of receptors through which they modulate the proliferation/cell death, autophagy, adhesion, migration, turnover of ECM, expression of cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and differentiation into cardiac myofibroblasts (CMF). Diff...
متن کاملOrigins of cardiac fibroblasts.
Cardiac fibroblasts play a critical role in maintenance of normal cardiac function. They are indispensable for damage control and tissue remodeling on myocardial injury and principal mediators of pathological cardiac remodeling and fibrosis. Despite their manyfold functions, cardiac fibroblasts remain poorly characterized in molecular terms. Evidence is evolving that cardiac fibroblasts are a h...
