Abstract

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common type of cardiomyopathy. The pathogenesis of DCM remains unclear and involves varied genes. AXIN1 is a crucial gene in regulating various functions in cells, it encodes protein Axin1, which regulates the assembly and disassembly of β-catenin destruction complex. In addition, Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays an important role in cardiogenesis. We aimed to detect whether AXIN1 polymorphisms contribute to the susceptibility and prognosis of DCM in a Chinese Han population. A total of 340 DCM patients and 430 controls were enrolled, and patients who had complete contact information were followed up for a median period of 49 months. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism was carried out to genotype the two AXIN1 tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs12921862 and rs1805105). All data were analyzed using the statistical software package, SPSS 21.0. The frequencies of allele A in rs12921862 and allele C in rs1805015 were increased in DCM patients compared with healthy controls (p < 0.001). Genotypic frequencies of rs12921862 and rs1805105 were associated with the susceptibility of DCM in codominant, dominant, and overdominant models (p < 0.01). AA/AC and A...Continue Reading

Adherens Junctions

An adherens junction is defined as a cell junction whose cytoplasmic face is linked to the actin cytoskeleton. They can appear as bands encircling the cell (zonula adherens) or as spots of attachment to the extracellular matrix (adhesion plaques). Adherens junctions uniquely disassemble in uterine epithelial cells to allow the blastocyst to penetrate between epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on adherens junctions here.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins. Discover the latest research on cadherins and catenins 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.
