Abstract

Angiotensin II (AII) is a critical factor in cardiac remodeling which involves hypertrophy, fibroblast proliferation, and extracellular matrix production. However, little is known about the mechanism by which AII accelerates these responses. Osteopontin is an acidic phosphoprotein with RGD (arginine-glycine-aspartate) sequences that are involved in the vascular smooth muscle cell remodeling process. We identified the presence of osteopontin mRNA and protein in cultured rat cardiac fibroblasts and its prominent regulation by AII (10(-11) M). Osteopontin message levels were increased fourfold (P < 0.01) and protein fivefold (P < 0.05) at 24 h after addition of AII (10(-7) M). This response was inhibited by the AT1 receptor blocker, losartan. Osteopontin mRNA levels were increased in hypertrophied ventricles from animals with renovascular hypertension (1.6-fold, P < 0.05) and aortic banding (2.9-fold, P < 0.05). To examine the function of osteopontin, we determined its effects on (a) the ability of cardiac fibroblasts to contract three-dimensional collagen gels and (b) cardiac fibroblast growth. A monoclonal antibody against osteopontin partially blocked AII-induced three-dimensional collagen gel contraction by cardiac fibroblasts...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.
