Load induction of cardiac hypertrophy.

Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology

Abstract

We have shown in surgical animal models that increased and decreased cardiac loading results in myocardial hypertrophy and atrophy, respectively. These changes, which are readily reversible upon the restoration of a normal cardiac load, occur without any requirement for neural or circulating intermediary factors. In our current studies we have focused first on an unequivocal demonstration of these same phenomena in a much simpler model consisting of isolated quiescent cardiocytes maintained in serum-free medium and second on an elucidation in isolated papillary muscles of the means by which a change in cardiac load is transduced into a change in cardiac mass. Adherent isolated adult cardiocytes held at their rest length exhibit only a very gradual loss of their differentiated features. In contrast, unloaded cardiocytes in suspension culture immediately cease nuclear RNA synthesis and rapidly come to resemble unloaded cardiac muscle--a cardiocyte cellular analog of cardiac tissue atrophy, while loaded adherent cardiocytes stretched past their rest length respond in terms of synthetic activity characteristic of growth initiation--a cardiocyte cellular analog of cardiac tissue hypertrophy. Both quiescent and contracting papillary ...Continue Reading

Cardiomegaly

Cardiomegaly, known as an enlarged heart, is a multifactorial disease with different pathophysiological mechanisms. Hypertension, pregnancy, exercise-induced and idiopathic causes are some mechanisms of cardiomegaly. Discover the latest research of cardiomegaly here.
