A20 is dynamically regulated in the heart and inhibits the hypertrophic response.
BACKGROUND Nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB signaling has been implicated in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Here, we determine the cardiac regulation and biological activity of A20, an inhibitor of NF-kappaB signaling. METHODS AND RESULTS Mice were subjected to aortic banding, and A20 expression was examined. A20 mRNA upregulation (4.3+/-1.5-fold; P<0.05) was detected 3 hours after banding, coinciding ...
متن کاملMitochondrial Calpain-1 Disrupts ATP Synthase and Induces Superoxide Generation in Type 1 Diabetic Hearts: A Novel Mechanism Contributing to Diabetic Cardiomyopathy
Calpain plays a critical role in cardiomyopathic changes in type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study investigated how calpain regulates mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. T1D was induced in transgenic mice overexpressing calpastatin, in mice with cardiomyocyte-specific capn4 deletion, or in their wild-type littermates by injection of s...
متن کاملAdenoviral gene transfer of activated phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase and Akt inhibits apoptosis of hypoxic cardiomyocytes in vitro.
BACKGROUND The intracellular signaling pathways that control cardiomyocyte apoptosis have not been fully defined. Because insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) prevents cardiomyocyte apoptosis, we examined the role of its downstream signaling molecules in an in vitro model of hypoxia-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Treatment of rat neonatal cardiomyocytes with IGF-1 increa...
متن کاملScaffolding/Docking Protein Gab1 With Tyrosine Phosphatase SHP2 in Cardiomyocytes Activation of gp130 Transduces Hypertrophic Signal Through Interaction of
Grb2-associated binder-1 (Gab1) is a scaffolding/docking protein and contains a Pleckstrin homology domain and potential binding sites for Src homology (SH) 2 and SH3 domains. Gab1 is tyrosine phosphorylated and associates with protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 and p85 phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase on stimulation with various cytokines and growth factors, including interleukin-6. We previously ...
متن کاملAdenoviral gene transfer of the human V2 vasopressin receptor improves contractile force of rat cardiomyocytes.
BACKGROUND In congestive heart failure, high systemic levels of the hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) result in vasoconstriction and reduced cardiac contractility. These effects are mediated by the V1 vasopressin receptor (V1R) coupled to phospholipase C beta-isoforms. The V2 vasopressin receptor (V2R), which promotes activation of the Gs/adenylyl cyclase system, is physiologically expressed i...
