Abstract

Mutations in the lamin A/C (LMNA) gene, which encodes nuclear membrane proteins, cause a variety of human conditions including dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) with associated cardiac conduction system disease. To investigate mechanisms responsible for electrophysiologic and myocardial phenotypes caused by dominant human LMNA mutations, we performed longitudinal evaluations in heterozygous Lmna(+/-) mice. Despite one normal allele, Lmna(+/-) mice had 50% of normal cardiac lamin A/C levels and developed cardiac abnormalities. Conduction system function was normal in neonatal Lmna(+/-) mice but, by 4 weeks of age, atrioventricular (AV) nodal myocytes had abnormally shaped nuclei and active apoptosis. Telemetric and in vivo electrophysiologic studies in 10-week-old Lmna(+/-) mice showed AV conduction defects and both atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, analogous to those observed in humans with heterozygous LMNA mutations. Isolated myocytes from 12-month-old Lmna(+/-) mice exhibited impaired contractility. In vivo cardiac studies of aged Lmna(+/-) mice revealed DCM; in some mice this occurred without overt conduction system disease. However, neither histopathology nor serum CK levels indicated skeletal muscle pathology. These data dem...Continue Reading

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.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

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.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Atrial Filbrillation

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

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 Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.
