BACKGROUND Angiotensin II (Ang II) induces the phenotypic modulation and hypertrophy of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), which is implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension, atherosclerosis, and diabetes. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that histone deacetylases 5 (HDAC5) and its signal pathway play a role in Ang II-induced VSMC hypertrophy. METHODS AND RESULTS VSMCs were iso...
The gene ankyrin repeat domain 1 (Ankrd1) is an enigmatic gene and may exert pleiotropic function dependent on its expression level, subcellular localization and even types of pathological stress, but it remains unclear how these factors influence the fate of cardiomyocytes. Here we attempted to investigate the role of CARP on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. In neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocyte...
The serine/threonine kinase Akt regulates cellular survival, proliferation, gene transcription, protein translation, metabolism, and differentiation. Although Akt substrates are found throughout the cell, activated Akt normally accumulates in the nucleus, suggesting that biologically relevant targets are located there. Consequences of nuclear Akt signaling in cardiomyocytes were explored by usi...
BACKGROUND A hallmark of heart failure is impaired cytoplasmic Ca(2+) handling of cardiomyocytes. It remains unknown whether specific alterations in nuclear Ca(2+) handling via altered excitation-transcription coupling contribute to the development and progression of heart failure. METHODS AND RESULTS Using tissue and isolated cardiomyocytes from nonfailing and failing human hearts, as well a...
Previous studies have demonstrated that lercanidipine, a calcium channel blocker, may protect against cardiac hypertrophy; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, the effects of lercanidipine on hypertrophy and the mechanisms involved were investigated. Cardiomyocytes isolated from neonatal rats were cultured and treated with angiotensin II (Ang II) in the prese...
CARP, a cardiac doxorubicin (adriamycin)-responsive protein, has been identified as a nuclear protein whose expression is downregulated in response to doxorubicin. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that CARP serves as a reliable genetic marker of cardiac hypertrophy in vivo and in vitro. CARP expression was markedly increased in 3 distinct models of cardiac hypertrophy in rats: con...
OBJECTIVE Recently we have shown that calpain-1 activation contributes to cardiomyocyte apoptosis induced by hyperglycemia. This study was undertaken to investigate whether targeted disruption of calpain would reduce myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis in mouse models of type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Diabetes in mice was induced by injection of streptozotocin (STZ), and OVE26 m...
The increase in protein activity and upregulation of G-protein coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is a hallmark of cardiac stress and heart failure. Inhibition of GRK2 improved cardiac function and survival and diminished cardiac remodeling in various animal heart failure models. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of GRK2 on cardiac hypertrophy and dissect potential molec...
Rationale: Both nuclear factors of activated T cells (NFAT) and nuclear factorB (NF B) are Rel homology domain (RHD)-containing transcription factors whose independent activities are critically involved in regulating cardiac hypertrophy and failure. Objective: To determine the potential functional interaction between NFAT and NF B signaling pathways in cardiomyocytes and its role in cardiac hyp...
RATIONALE Both nuclear factors of activated T cells (NFAT) and nuclear factor-κB (NFκB) are Rel homology domain (RHD)-containing transcription factors whose independent activities are critically involved in regulating cardiac hypertrophy and failure. OBJECTIVE To determine the potential functional interaction between NFAT and NFκB signaling pathways in cardiomyocytes and its role in cardiac h...
