abstract：:Cardiac hypertrophy is an adaptive response to a number of heart diseases including myocardial infarction. Although it can be compensatory at first, sustained hypertrophy is often a transition to heart failure. We have found that cardiomyocytes in culture can survive mild doses of H2O2 but develop hypertrophy involvin...

abstract：:Controlled activation of the complement system is critical to the host-defense response of the immune system. Activated complement is responsible for the stimulation of a localized protective inflammatory response to either invading microorganisms or foreign molecules (toxins). However, the autologous activation of th...

abstract：:The corticotrophin-releasing hormone-related factor, urocortin (Ucn) and the interleukin (IL)-6 family cytokine cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) are both cardioprotective agents able to protect the heart from ischemic damage. In both cases the protective effect involves activation of the p42/p44 MAPK and PI-3 kinase/Akt pathway...

abstract：:The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a member of the basic helix loop helix PAS (Per-ARNT-SIM) transcription family, which also includes hypoxiainducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) and its common dimerization partner AhR nuclear translocator (ARNT). Following ligand activation or hypoxia, AhR or HIF-1alpha, respecti...

abstract：:Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) induces myocarditis, especially in the immunodeficient or immature. To investigate whether CVB3 induced pronounced cardiomyopathy during the severe immune dysfunction of murine acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), female C57BL/6 mice were infected with LP-BM5 retrovirus and then coinfect...
