Lipopolysaccharide improves cardiomyocyte survival and function after serum deprivation.
Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) and its signaling molecule interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK-1) play an important role in host defense and tissue inflammation. Intriguingly, systemic administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the agonist for TLR4, confers a cardio-protective effect against ischemic injury. However, the mechanisms leading to the cardiac protection remain largely unknow...
متن کاملCardiomyocyte cell cycle activation improves cardiac function after myocardial infarction.
AIMS Cardiomyocyte loss is a major contributor to the decreased cardiac function observed in diseased hearts. Previous studies have shown that cardiomyocyte-restricted cyclin D2 expression resulted in sustained cell cycle activity following myocardial injury in transgenic (MHC-cycD2) mice. Here, we investigated the effects of this cell cycle activation on cardiac function following myocardial i...
متن کاملCardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of oestrogen receptor β improves survival and cardiac function after myocardial infarction in female and male mice.
ERβ (oestrogen receptor β) activation has been shown to be cardioprotective, but the cell types and mechanisms involved are not understood. To investigate whether ERβ restricted to cardiomyocytes contributes to the observed cardioprotection, we tested the effects of cardiomyocyte-specific ERβ-OE (ERβ overexpression) on survival, cardiac remodelling and function after MI (myocardial infarction) ...
متن کاملCardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of human stem cell factor improves cardiac function and survival after myocardial infarction in mice.
BACKGROUND Soluble stem cell factor (SCF) has been shown to mobilize bone marrow stem cells and improve cardiac repair after myocardial infarction (MI). However, the effect of membrane-associated SCF on cardiac remodeling after MI is not known. The present study investigated the effects of cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of the membrane-associated isoform of human SCF (hSCF) on cardiac fu...
متن کاملAngiotensin II: a regulator of cardiomyocyte function and survival.
Angiotensin II (Ang II) has been recognized as an important myocardial inotropic modulator, but the subtleties of the signalling pathways involved remain to be fully elucidated. The inotropic effect of Ang II reflects the net outcome of competing positive and negative signalling mechanisms. In pathophysiological states such as heart failure, characterized by chronic exposure to elevated Ang II,...
