Immune cell modulation of cardiac remodeling.
Heart failure remains a critical target to improve the health of the US population. It is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States.1 Heart failure is a result of acute or chronic injury followed by healing and remodeling that are insufficient to maintain or restore function. Myocardial infarction (MI) is the major cause of heart dysfunction, but other more chronic injuries,...
متن کاملImmune cell and other noncardiomyocyte regulation of cardiac hypertrophy and remodeling.
C ardiac hypertrophy and remodeling are pathological features of many cardiac diseases, with underlying causes including hypertension, cardiomyopathy, valvular dysfunc-tion, and myocardial infarction. In these diseases, ventricular hypertrophy occurs in response to pathological stimuli such as pressure and volume overload, sarcomere gene mutations, and neurohumoral activation, and a major conse...
متن کاملCholinergic Receptor Sensitivity Following Pharmacological Modulation of the Immune System
Objective. To study the effect of immunomodulators on learning and memory and on cholinergic receptor sensitivity. Methods. Animals were initially treated for a period of 8 days with cyclosporine/levamisole/saline. They were then subjected to passive avoidance training and 48 hrs later, the retention test for the passive avoidance task was conducted. Twenty-four hours after the retention tests ...
متن کاملThe Molecular Determinants of Tumor Cell Modulation of Immune Selection
Over the past century, the identification of molecules that tumor cells utilize to manipulate the activation or survival of immune cells has proven difficult. Expression analyses have helped to discover the downregulation of PD-L1, TGFβ, and FasL in the tumor microenvironment. Mutation analyses have helped identify novel tumor-specific or –associated antigens presented to the cell surface throu...
متن کاملModulation of adverse cardiac remodeling by STARS, a mediator of MEF2 signaling and SRF activity.
Cytoskeletal proteins have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiomyopathy, but how the cytoskeleton influences the transcriptional alterations associated with adverse cardiac remodeling remains unclear. Striated muscle activator of Rho signaling (STARS) is a muscle-specific actin-binding protein localized to the Z disc that activates serum response factor-dependent (SRF-dependent) transc...
