Abstract

TGF-β1 plays an important role in atrial fibrosis and atrial fibrillation (AF); previous studies have shown that the atria are more susceptible to TGF-β1 mediated fibrosis than the ventricles. Natriuretic peptides (NPs) play an important role in cardiac remodelling and fibrosis, but the role of natriuretic peptide clearance (NPR-C) receptor is largely unknown. We investigated the role of NPR-C in modulating TGF-β1 signalling in the atria. MHC-TGF-β1 transgenic (TGF-β1-Tx) mice, which develop isolated atrial fibrosis and AF, were cross-bred with NPR-C knock-out mice (NPR-C-KO). Transverse aortic constriction (TAC) was performed in wild type (Wt) and NPR-C knockout mice to study. Atrial fibrosis and AF inducibility in a pathophysiologic model. Electrophysiology, molecular, and histologic studies were performed in adult mice. siRNA was used to interrogate the interaction between TGF-β1 and NP signalling pathways in isolated atrial and ventricular fibroblasts/myofibroblasts. NPR-C expression level was 17 ± 5.8-fold higher in the atria compared with the ventricle in Wt mice (P = 0.009). Cross-bred mice demonstrated markedly decreased pSmad2 and collagen expression, atrial fibrosis, and AF compared with TGF-β1-Tx mice with intact NPR...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiac Remodeling

Cardiac remodeling in response to a myocardial infarction is characterized by progressive ventricular dilatation, cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and deterioration of cardiac performance. Discover the latest research on Cardiac Remodeling here.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.
