چکیده
By subtractive hybridization, we found a significant increase in H11 kinase transcript in large mammalian models of both ischemia/reperfusion (stunning) and chronic pressure overload with hypertrophy. Because this gene has not been characterized in the heart, the goal of the present study was to determine the function of H11 kinase in cardiac tissue, both in vitro and in vivo. In isolated neonatal rat cardiac myocytes, adenoviral-mediated overexpression of H11 kinase resulted in a 37% increase in protein/DNA ratio, reflecting hypertrophy. A cardiac-specific transgene driven by the alphaMHC-promoter was generated, which resulted in an average 7-fold increase in H11 kinase protein expression. Transgenic hearts were characterized by a 30% increase of the heart weight/body weight ratio, by the reexpression of a fetal gene program, and by concentric hypertrophy with preserved contractile function at echocardiography. This phenotype was accompanied by a dose-dependent activation of Akt/PKB and p70(S6) kinase, whereas the MAP kinase pathway was unaffected. Thus, H11 kinase represents a novel mediator of cardiac cell growth and hypertrophy.

متن کاملH11 has dose-dependent and dual hypertrophic and proapoptotic functions in cardiac myocytes.
We have shown previously that H11, a serine/threonine kinase, is up-regulated in a heart subjected to ischaemia/reperfusion. In the present study, we have characterized the cellular function of H11, using neonatal rat cardiac myocytes. Although transduction of adenovirus harbouring H11 at low doses increased the cell size, at higher doses it induced apoptosis in cardiac myocytes. Apoptosis was ...
متن کاملCarvacrol Ameliorates Pathological Cardiac Hypertrophy in Both In-vivo and In-vitro Models
Hypertension-induced left ventricular hypertrophy is the most important risk factor for heart failure. This study aimed at investigating the effects of monoterpenoid phenol, carvacrol, on myocardial hypertrophy using both in-vivo and in-vitro models. Male Wistar rats were divided into the control (Ctl), un-treated hypertrophy (H), and carvacrol-treated hypertrophy gro...

متن کاملThe effect of high-intensity interval training on the expression of protein kinase B (Akt gene) in the left ventricle of male rats with type 2 diabetes
Introduction: The term diabetes heart in diabetic patients includes pathologic left ventricular hypertrophy. Stimulation of the signaling and molecular pathways of cardiac myocardial remodeling through exercise in this regard can be considered as a therapeutic strategy for physiological development of the left ventricle. In the present study, the effect of 8 weeks of high intensity interval tra...
