PGC1α Plays a Critical Role in TWEAK–Induced Cardiac Dysfunction
BACKGROUND Inflammatory cytokines play an important role in the pathogenesis of heart failure. We have recently found the cytokine TWEAK (tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like weak inducer of apoptosis), a member of the TNF superfamily, to be increased in patients with cardiomyopathy and result in the development of heart failure when overexpressed in mice. The molecular mechanisms underlying TWEAK-...
متن کاملGut-derived norepinephrine plays a critical role in producing hepatocellular dysfunction during early sepsis.
Although plasma norepinephrine (NE) increases and hepatocellular function is depressed during early sepsis, it is unknown whether gut is a significant source of NE and, if so, whether gut-derived NE helps produce hepatocellular dysfunction. We subjected rats to sepsis by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), and 2 h later (i.e., early sepsis) portal and systemic blood samples were collected and pl...
متن کاملp300 plays a critical role in maintaining cardiac mitochondrial function and cell survival in postnatal hearts.
RATIONALE It is known that the transcriptional coactivator p300 is crucially involved in the differentiation and growth of cardiac myocytes during development. However, the physiological function of p300 in the postnatal hearts remains to be characterized. OBJECTIVE We have now investigated the physiological function of p300 in adult hearts. METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed transgenic mice e...
متن کاملUpregulation of heat shock transcription factor 1 plays a critical role in adaptive cardiac hypertrophy.
Exercise-induced cardiac hypertrophy has been reported to have better prognosis than pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Cardiac hypertrophy induced by exercise was associated with less cardiac fibrosis and better systolic function, suggesting that the adaptive mechanisms may exist in exercise-induced hypertrophy. Here, we showed a critical role of heat shock transcription factor 1 (...
متن کاملCalcineurin plays a critical role in the development of pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy.
BACKGROUND Although activation of the Ca(2+)-dependent phosphatase calcineurin has been reported to induce cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, whether calcineurin is involved in pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy remains controversial. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined in the present study the role of calcineurin in pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy using transgenic mice that over...
