چکیده
BACKGROUND We investigated the contribution of inositol(1,4,5)-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3 [IP3]) receptors (IP3-R) to disease progression in mouse models of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and pressure overload hypertrophy. Mice expressing mammalian sterile 20-like kinase and dominant-negative phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase in heart (Mst1×dn-PI3K-2Tg; DCM-2Tg) develop severe DCM and conduction block, associated with increased expression of type 2 IP3-R (IP3-R(2)) and heightened generation of Ins(1,4,5)P3. Similar increases in Ins(1,4,5)P3 and IP3-R(2) are caused by transverse aortic constriction. METHODS AND RESULTS To evaluate the contribution of IP3-R(2) to disease progression, the DCM-2Tg mice were further crossed with mice in which the type 2 IP3-R (IP3-R(2)-/-) had been deleted (DCM-2Tg×IP3-R(2)-/-) and transverse aortic constriction was performed on IP3-R(2)-/- mice. Hearts from DCM-2Tg mice and DCM-2Tg×IP3-R(2)-/- were similar in terms of chamber dilatation, atrial enlargement, and ventricular wall thinning. Electrophysiological changes were also similar in the DCM-2Tg mice, with and without IP3-R(2). Deletion of IP3-R(2) did not alter the progression of heart failure, because DCM-2Tg mice with and without IP3-R(2) had similarly reduced contractility, increased lung congestion, and atrial thrombus, and both strains died between 10 and 12 weeks of age. Loss of IP3-R(2) did not alter the progression of hypertrophy after transverse aortic constriction. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that IP3-R(2) do not contribute to the progression of DCM or pressure overload hypertrophy, despite increased expression and heightened generation of the ligand, Ins(1,4,5)P3.

Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Ischemic Heart Failure Models in Pigs
A previous manuscript on this website, SURGICALLY PRODUCED VOLUME AND PRESSURE OVERLOAD HEART FAILURE MODELS IN SWINE, discussed heart failure models that could be produced in swine using selected surgical techniques. Pressure overload hypertrophy is produced by surgical banding of the great vessels of the heart and leads to concentric hypertrophy of the heart. Volume overload hypertrophy of th...

The recent publication of draft copies of the human genome sequence from both public and private sector consortia has fuelled anticipation that eventually, once all genes have been identified, we will be able to ascertain which of them are involved in human diseases, including those affecting the cardiovascular system. Understanding the molecular biology behind both inherited and acquired disor...
متن کاملIncreased right ventricular wall thickness in left ventricular pressure overload: echocardiographic determination of hypertrophic response of the "nonstressed" ventricle.
Left ventricular hypertrophy in left ventricular pressure overload occurs in response to excessive work load imposed on the left ventricle by increased impedance to ejection. Right ventricular hypertrophy may occur in patients with these findings, but has been considered to be secondary to pulmonary hypertension. To determine the frequency of right ventricular hypertrophy and its relation to in...
