Abstract

Calcineurin is a calcium-calmodulin-regulated, serine-threonine phosphatase that functions as a key inducer of stress responsive gene expression in multiple cell types through a direct activation of nuclear factor of activated T cells and myocyte enhancer factor 2 transcription factors. In cardiomyocytes, calcineurin signaling has been implicated in the regulation of the hypertrophic response caused by pressure overload or neuroendocrine stimulation. Three separate genes encode the catalytic subunit of calcineurin in mammalian cells, CnAalpha, CnAbeta, and CnAgamma. To evaluate the necessary function of calcineurin as a hypertrophic regulatory factor, the CnAbeta gene was disrupted in the mouse. CnAbeta-deficient mice were viable, fertile, and overtly normal well into adulthood, but displayed a 80% decrease in calcineurin enzymatic activity in the heart that was associated with a 12% reduction in basal heart size. CnAbeta-deficient mice were dramatically impaired in their ability to mount a productive hypertrophic response induced by pressure overload, angiotensin II infusion, or isoproterenol infusion. Analysis of marker genes associated with the hypertrophic response revealed a partial defect in the molecular program of hyper...Continue Reading

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.
