Circulating biomarkers of collagen metabolism in cardiac diseases.
Alterations of the structure and composition of cardiomyocyte and noncardiomyocyte compartments of the myocardium appear to play a central role in the pathogenesis of heart failure (HF) associated with a number of cardiac diseases. Among these alterations, changes in the quantity and quality of the extracellular matrix, including the collagen network, have been characterized that induce remodel...

متن کاملCollagen Metabolism by Cardiac Fibroblasts In Vitro
Background. Cyclosporine A has been implicated in the pathogenesis of myocardial interstitial fibrosis observed in heart transplant recipients. However, other confounding variables such as posttransplantation hypertension and rejection episodes may also be responsible for interstitial fibrosis development and associated abnormalities in ventricular diastolic function. Therefore, we examined whe...
متن کاملUtility of Circulating MicroRNAs as Clinical Biomarkers for Cardiovascular Diseases
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNA molecules that regulate gene and protein expression by translational repression and/or mRNA degradation. miRNAs are implicated in the pathogenesis of various cardiovascular diseases and have become potential targets for therapeutic intervention. Their stability and presence in variety of readily accessible cell types including whole blood, serum, plasm...
متن کاملCirculating microRNAs: biomarkers or mediators of cardiovascular diseases?
MicroRNAs (miRs) are small, noncoding RNAs that posttranscriptionally control gene expression by inhibiting protein translation or inducing target mRNA destabilization. Besides their intracellular function, recent studies demonstrate that miRs can be exported or released by cells and circulate with the blood in a remarkably stable form. The discovery of circulating miRs opens up intriguing poss...
