Intracoronary adenovirus-mediated delivery and overexpression of the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor in the heart : prospects for molecular ventricular assistance.
(Circulation, 2000-02-01)
BACKGROUND: Genetic modulation of ventricular function may offer a novel therapeutic
strategy for patients with congestive heart failure. Myocardial overexpression of
beta(2)-adrenergic receptors (beta(2)ARs) has been shown ...
Gene expression signatures of radiation response are specific, durable and accurate in mice and humans.
(PLoS One, 2008-04-02)
BACKGROUND: Previous work has demonstrated the potential for peripheral blood (PB)
gene expression profiling for the detection of disease or environmental exposures.
METHODS AND FINDINGS: We have sought to determine the ...
Enhanced rewarding properties of morphine, but not cocaine, in beta(arrestin)-2 knock-out mice.
(J Neurosci, 2003-11-12)
The reinforcing and psychomotor effects of morphine involve opiate stimulation of
the dopaminergic system via activation of mu-opioid receptors (muOR). Both mu-opioid
and dopamine receptors are members of the G-protein-coupled ...
Differential mechanisms of morphine antinociceptive tolerance revealed in (beta)arrestin-2 knock-out mice.
(J Neurosci, 2002-12-01)
Morphine induces antinociception by activating mu opioid receptors (muORs) in spinal
and supraspinal regions of the CNS. (Beta)arrestin-2 (beta)arr2), a G-protein-coupled
receptor-regulating protein, regulates the muOR in ...
Beta-arrestin-2 regulates the development of allergic asthma.
(J Clin Invest, 2003-08)
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways that is coordinated by Th2
cells in both human asthmatics and animal models of allergic asthma. Migration of
Th2 cells to the lung is key to their inflammatory function ...
The CO/HO system reverses inhibition of mitochondrial biogenesis and prevents murine doxorubicin cardiomyopathy.
(J Clin Invest, 2007-12)
The clinical utility of anthracycline anticancer agents, especially doxorubicin, is
limited by a progressive toxic cardiomyopathy linked to mitochondrial damage and cardiomyocyte
apoptosis. Here we demonstrate that ...
Treatment with Imatinib in NSCLC is associated with decrease of phosphorylated PDGFR-beta and VEGF expression, decrease in interstitial fluid pressure and improvement of oxygenation.
(Br J Cancer, 2006-10-23)
Elevated intratumoral interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) and tumour hypoxia are independent
predictive factors for poor survival and poor treatment response in cancer patients.
However, the relationship between IFP and tumour ...
Beta-arrestin-mediated beta1-adrenergic receptor transactivation of the EGFR confers cardioprotection.
(J Clin Invest, 2007-09)
Deleterious effects on the heart from chronic stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors
(betaARs), members of the 7 transmembrane receptor family, have classically been shown
to result from Gs-dependent adenylyl ...
Smoothened signal transduction is promoted by G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2.
(Mol Cell Biol, 2006-10)
Deregulation of the Sonic hedgehog pathway has been implicated in an increasing number
of human cancers. In this pathway, the seven-transmembrane (7TM) signaling protein
Smoothened regulates cellular proliferation ...
Level of beta-adrenergic receptor kinase 1 inhibition determines degree of cardiac dysfunction after chronic pressure overload-induced heart failure.
(Circulation, 2005-02-08)
BACKGROUND: Heart failure is characterized by abnormalities in beta-adrenergic receptor
(betaAR) signaling, including increased level of myocardial betaAR kinase 1 (betaARK1).
Our previous studies have shown that inhibition ...
