Mechanical stress-induced cardiac hypertrophy: mechanisms and signal transduction pathways

C Ruwhof, A van der Laarse - Cardiovascular research, 2000 - academic.oup.com
Cardiac hypertrophy is a well known response to increased hemodynamic load. Mechanical
stress is considered to be the trigger inducing a growth response in the overloaded …

Alterations in cardiac gene expression during the transition from stable hypertrophy to heart failure. Marked upregulation of genes encoding extracellular matrix …

MO Boluyt, L O'Neill, AL Meredith, OH Bing… - Circulation …, 1994 - Am Heart Assoc
The failing heart is characterized by impaired cardiac muscle function and increased
interstitial fibrosis. Our purpose was to determine whether the functional impairment of the …

Selective changes in cardiac gene expression during compensated hypertrophy and the transition to cardiac decompensation in rats with chronic aortic banding.

AM Feldman, EO Weinberg, PE Ray… - Circulation research, 1993 - Am Heart Assoc
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is associated with reinduction of the fetal program of gene
expression. It is unclear whether this pattern of cardiac gene expression changes with the …

Structural remodeling and mechanical dysfunction of cardiac myocytes in heart failure

AM Gerdes, JM Capasso - Journal of molecular and cellular cardiology, 1995 - Elsevier
End stage heart failure due to ischemic (ICM) or dilated (DCM) cardiomyopathy is

The role of angiotensin II via the angiotensin type 1 or type 2 receptor in the development of
cardiac hypertrophy was determined in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats subjected to …

Activation of nuclear factor-κB is necessary for myotrophin-induced cardiac hypertrophy

S Gupta, NH Purcell, A Lin, S Sen - The Journal of cell biology, 2002 - rupress.org
The transcription factor nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) regulates expression of a variety of genes

Age-related differences in the expression of proto-oncogene and contractile protein genes in response to pressure overload in the rat myocardium.

T Takahashi, H Schunkert, S Isoyama… - The Journal of …, 1992 - Am Soc Clin Investig
Cardiac adaptation to hemodynamic stress involves both quantitative (hypertrophy) and
qualitative (pattern of gene expression) changes. Our previous studies have shown that …
