RAGE modulates myocardial injury consequent to LAD infarction via impact on JNK and STAT signaling in a murine model.
The receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in the isolated perfused heart. To test the hypothesis that RAGE-dependent mechanisms modulated responses to I/R in a murine model of transient occlusion and reperfusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), we subjected male homozygous RAGE(-/-) ...
متن کاملTranslation of Methdology used in Human Myocardial Imaging to a Sheep Model of Acute Myocardial Infarction
Background: Pre-clinical investigation of stem cells for repairing damaged myocardium predominantly used rodents, however large animals have cardiac circulation closely resembling the human heart. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether SPECT/CT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) could be used for assessing sheep myocardium following an acute myocardial infarction (MI) and response to int...
متن کاملMyocardial Infarction Following Coronary Ligation in Dogs
In the subacute phase of myocardial infarction following coronary ligation in dogs, a relationship was noted between the extent of infarction and the degree of elevation of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure. Left ventricular filling pressure was consistently increased when 25% or more of the left ventricle was infarcted. Isoproterenol infusion resulted in enhanced left ventricular functio...
متن کاملCoronary Artery Ligation and Intramyocardial Injection in a Murine Model of Infarction
Mouse models are a valuable tool for studying acute injury and chronic remodeling of the myocardium in vivo. With the advent of genetic modifications to the whole organism or the myocardium and an array of biological and/or synthetic materials, there is great potential for any combination of these to assuage the extent of acute ischemic injury and impede the onset of heart failure pursuant to m...
متن کاملEchocardiographic assessment of myocardial infarction: comparison of a rat model in two strains
The purpose of this study was to induce myocardial infarction (MI) and compare the echocardiographic parameters and mortality ratio of Lewis inbred and Wistar outbred strain before and after the procedure to help choose the best one for MI studies. In this study MI was induced in 46 Lewis and 34 Wistar by occlusion of left anterior descending artery (LAD). Doppler, two-dimensional (2-D) and 2-D...
