Mechanisms for the defects in phospholipid signal transduction in diabetic cardiomyopathy.

چکیده
Although diabetic cardiomyopathy is associated with heart dysfunction and disturbance in cardiac sarcolemmal membrane phospholipid composition, the role of the different phospholipases and their related signaling mechanisms to altered function of the heart in diabetes is not completely understood. Thus, understanding the pathophysiology of cardiovascular abnormalities in diabetes, as well as identifying defects in various components of the phospholipid signaling pathways, that could serve as therapeutic targets, is warranted. Accordingly, this review provides an outline of the role of and the mechanisms for the defects in phospholipase A2, C and D-mediated signal transduction in the diabetic heart. In addition, the potential of different phospholipases as targets for drug development for the prevention/treatment of heart disease in diabetes is discussed.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy and its mechanisms: Role of oxidative stress and damage
Diabetic cardiomyopathy as an important threat to health occurs with or without coexistence of vascular diseases. The exact mechanisms underlying the disease remain incompletely clear. Although several pathological mechanisms responsible for diabetic cardiomyopathy have been proposed, oxidative stress is widely considered as one of the major causes for the pathogenesis of the disease. Hyperglyc...
متن کاملAn overview of the inflammatory signalling mechanisms in the myocardium underlying the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
Heart failure is a highly morbid and mortal clinical condition that represents the last stage of most cardiovascular disorders. Diabetes is strongly associated with an increased incidence of heart failure and directly promotes cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and apoptosis. These changes, in turn, contribute to the development of ventricular dysfunction. The clinical condition associated with the...
متن کاملThe Canonical Wnt Signaling (Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway): A Potential Target for Cancer Prevention and Therapy
Precise regulation of signal transduction pathways is crucial for normal animal development and for maintaining cellular and tissue homeostasis in adults. The Wnt/Frizzled-mediated signaling includes canonical and non-canonical signal transduction pathways. Upregulation or downregulation of the canonical Wnt-signaling (or the Wnt/β-Catenin signal transduction) leads to a variety of human diseas...

Cardiovascular disease, predominantly ischemic heart disease (IHD), is the leading cause of death in diabetes mellitus (DM). In addition to eliciting cardiomyopathy, DM induces a 'wicked triumvirate': (i) increasing the risk and incidence of IHD and myocardial ischemia; (ii) decreasing myocardial tolerance to ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury; and (iii) inhibiting or eliminating responses to ca...
متن کاملThe Expression of Signal Regulatory Protein-alpha in Normal and Osteoarthritic Human Articular Cartilage and Its Involvement in Chondrocyte Mechano-transduction Response
Signal regulatory proteins (SIRP) belong to immunoglobulin super family (IgSF) and relate to integrin signaling cascades. It has been shown that SIRPa is expressed in a variety of cells including myeloid cells and neurons. In the present study the expression of this IgSF member in articular chondrocytes was investigated. Methods: Using a panel of anti-SIRPalpha antibodies, immunohistochemistry...
