Circulating Growth Differentiation Factor 11/8 Levels Decline With Age.
RATIONALE Growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) and GDF8 are members of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily sharing 89% protein sequence homology. We have previously shown that circulating GDF11 levels decrease with age in mice. However, a recent study by Egerman et al reported that GDF11/8 levels increase with age in mouse serum. OBJECTIVE Here, we clarify the direction of change...
متن کاملCorrection to: Circulating Growth Differentiation Factor 11/8 Levels Decline With Age.
In the article by Poggioli et al, “Circulating Growth Differentiation Factor 11/8 Levels Decline with Age,” which published in the January 8, 2016 issue of the journal (Circ Res. 2016;118:29–37. DOI: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.115.307521), corrections were needed to the Online Supplement. In Online Table I, we reported values that demonstrate an effect of GDF11/8 on heart weight and body mass. Since th...
متن کاملGrowth Differentiation Factor 11 Is a Circulating Factor that Reverses Age-Related Cardiac Hypertrophy
The most common form of heart failure occurs with normal systolic function and often involves cardiac hypertrophy in the elderly. To clarify the biological mechanisms that drive cardiac hypertrophy in aging, we tested the influence of circulating factors using heterochronic parabiosis, a surgical technique in which joining of animals of different ages leads to a shared circulation. After 4 week...
متن کاملCirculating transforming growth factor-beta1 levels in asymptomatic carotid plaques.
Circulating Transforming Growth Factor1 Levels in Asymptomatic Carotid Plaques To the Editor: It was with great interest we read the report by Cipollone et al1 on the role of transforming growth factor1 (TGF1) in the process of plaque stabilization. The authors demonstrate that TGFmRNA levels are increased up to 3-fold in asymptomatic as compared with symptomatic plaques, with a parallel increa...
متن کاملIncreased circulating levels of insulin-like growth factor-I and decreased circulating levels of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 in postmenopausal women with endometrial cancer.
In human endometrium insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-1 inhibits the mitogenic action of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I by inhibiting the binding of IGF-I to its receptor. Our purpose was to compare circulating levels of IGF-I and IGFBP-1 in women with and without endometrial cancer. We assessed circulating levels of IGF-I and IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-3 in 23 patients with endome...
