Alterations in cultured myocardial fibroblast function following the development of left ventricular failure

Abstract

A structural event in the progression of left ventricular (LV) failure is myocardial extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. The myocardial fibroblast is a major cell type influencing the ECM, but whether and to what degree specific phenotypic differences in myocardial fibroblasts can be demonstrated to occur in culture with the development of LV failure remains unclear. Adult pigs (25 kg) were used for control myocardial fibroblast preparations (N=5) or following pacing-induced LV failure (N=5; 240 bpm, 3 weeks). LV remodeling occurred with pacing as evidenced by increased LV end diastolic volume (132+/-11 vs. 60+/-4 mL for control; P<0.05). Functional parameters including migration, adhesion, collagen and matrix metalloproteinase release were assessed in fibroblast cultures from passages 1-4. The following findings were consistent with each passage and the results were analyzed with control values set to 100%. Migration of LV failure fibroblasts increased by over 170% (P<0.05). Adhesion to collagen I, laminin and fibronectin was increased by over 160% in LV failure fibroblasts (P<0.05). beta(1) integrin density decreased by 50% in LV failure fibroblasts (P<0.05). Fibrillar collagen release increased by over 130% and matrix met...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

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.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
