Restoration of beta-adrenergic signaling in failing cardiac ventricular myocytes via adenoviral-mediated gene transfer.
Akhter, SA; Skaer, CA; Kypson, AP; McDonald, PH; Peppel, KC; Glower, DD; Lefkowitz, RJ; ... (8 authors) (Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1997-10-28)Cardiovascular gene therapy is a novel approach to the treatment of diseases such as congestive heart failure (CHF). Gene transfer to the heart would allow for the replacement of defective or missing cellular proteins that ... -
Targeting Gbeta gamma signaling in arterial vascular smooth muscle proliferation: a novel strategy to limit restenosis.
Iaccarino, G; Smithwick, LA; Lefkowitz, RJ; Koch, WJ (Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1999-03-30)Restenosis continues to be a major problem limiting the effectiveness of revascularization procedures. To date, the roles of heterotrimeric G proteins in the triggering of pathological vascular smooth muscle (VSM) ... -
β-Adrenergic Receptor Kinase-1 Levels in Catecholamine-Induced Myocardial Hypertrophy
Iaccarino, G; Dolber, PC; Lefkowitz, RJ; Koch, WJ (1999-01)Pressure overload ventricular hypertrophy is accompanied by dysfunctional β-adrenergic receptor signaling due to increased levels of the β-adrenergic receptor kinase-1, which phosphorylates and desensitizes β-adrenergic ...
