Thrombospondin-2 is essential for myocardial matrix integrity: increased expression identifies failure-prone cardiac hypertrophy.
Cardiac hypertrophy can lead to heart failure (HF), but it is unpredictable which hypertrophied myocardium will progress to HF. We surmised that apart from hypertrophy-related genes, failure-related genes are expressed before the onset of failure, permitting molecular prediction of HF. Hearts from hypertensive homozygous renin-overexpressing (Ren-2) rats that had progressed to early HF were com...
متن کاملThrombospondin in essential thrombocythemia.
Essential thrombocythemia is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by frequent bleeding and thrombotic complications. On a molecular level, two abnormalities of platelet thrombospondin have been identified: abnormal glycosylation of the intact 185,000-dalton chain has been detected and a shortened form of the thrombospondin chain is present. We have used two monoclonal antibodies and Lens...

متن کاملPeroxynitrite-induced myocardial injury is mediated through matrix metalloproteinase-2.
OBJECTIVES Peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) mediates in part both ischemia-reperfusion and pro-inflammatory cytokine-induced injury to the heart. As oxidants like ONOO(-) are known to activate matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), we examined whether they play a role in the detrimental action of ONOO(-) in isolated perfused rat hearts. METHODS Hearts were isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats and perfused ret...
متن کاملVitamin E is essential for Purkinje neuron integrity.
α-Tocopherol (vitamin E) is an essential dietary antioxidant with important neuroprotective functions. α-Tocopherol deficiency manifests primarily in neurological pathologies, notably cerebellar dysfunctions such as spinocerebellar ataxia. To study the roles of α-tocopherol in the cerebellum, we used the α-tocopherol transfer protein for the murine version (Ttpa(-/)(-)) mice which lack the α-to...
