Enhanced fibroblast-myocyte interactions in response to cardiac injury.
RATIONALE A critical event in the development of cardiac fibrosis is the transformation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts. The electrophysiological consequences of this phenotypic switch remain largely unknown. OBJECTIVE Determine whether fibroblast activation following cardiac injury results in a distinct electrophysiological phenotype that enhances fibroblast-myocyte interactions. METHOD...
متن کاملIncreased cardiac myocyte progenitors in failing human hearts.
BACKGROUND Increasing evidence, derived mainly from animal models, supports the existence of endogenous cardiac renewal and repair mechanisms in adult mammalian hearts that could contribute to normal homeostasis and the responses to pathological insults. METHODS AND RESULTS Translating these results, we isolated small c-kit+ cells from 36 of 37 human hearts using primary cell isolation techni...
متن کاملMyocardial iron load measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate cardiac systolic function in thalassemia
BACKGROUND The assessment of cardiac iron overload in thalassemia major has been considered as an important predictive factor of heart injury. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived relaxation time parameter (T2*) varies inversely with iron level, and elevated myocardial iron levels by T2* are associated with depressed left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF). We compared echocardiogr...
متن کاملIncreased protein kinase C activity in myotrophin-induced myocyte growth.
Myotrophin, a novel protein that has been shown to stimulate myocyte growth, has been isolated, purified, and sequenced from the hearts of spontaneously hypertensive rats and dilated cardiomyopathic human tissue. Recently, the cDNA clones encoding myotrophin have been isolated and expressed in Escherichia coli, and the recombinant myotrophin was found to be as biologically and immunologically a...
متن کاملRight ventricular systolic pressure load alters myocyte maturation in fetal sheep.
The effects of right ventricular (RV) systolic pressure (RVSP) load on fetal myocyte size and maturation were studied. Pulmonary artery (PA) pressure was increased by PA occlusion from mean 47.4 +/- 5.0 (+/-SD) to 71 +/- 13.6 mmHg (P < 0.0001) in eight RVSP-loaded near-term fetal sheep for 10 days. The maximal pressure generated by the RV with acute PA occlusion increased after RVSP load: 78 +/...
