Enhancement of cardiac function after adenoviral-mediated in vivo intracoronary beta2-adrenergic receptor gene delivery.
(J Clin Invest, 1999-07)
Exogenous gene delivery to alter the function of the heart is a potential novel therapeutic
strategy for treatment of cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure (HF). Before
gene therapy approaches to alter cardiac function ...
In vivo ventricular gene delivery of a beta-adrenergic receptor kinase inhibitor to the failing heart reverses cardiac dysfunction.
(Circulation, 2001-03-06)
BACKGROUND: Genetic manipulation to reverse molecular abnormalities associated with
dysfunctional myocardium may provide novel treatment. This study aimed to determine
the feasibility and functional consequences of in vivo ...
Restoration of beta-adrenergic signaling in failing cardiac ventricular myocytes via adenoviral-mediated gene transfer.
(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 ...
Preservation of myocardial beta-adrenergic receptor signaling delays the development of heart failure after myocardial infarction.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2000-05-09)
When the heart fails, there is often a constellation of biochemical alterations of
the beta-adrenergic receptor (betaAR) signaling system, leading to the loss of cardiac
inotropic reserve. betaAR down-regulation and functional ...
Potentiation of beta-adrenergic signaling by adenoviral-mediated gene transfer in adult rabbit ventricular myocytes.
(J Clin Invest, 1997-01-15)
Our laboratory has been testing the hypothesis that genetic modulation of the beta-adrenergic
signaling cascade can enhance cardiac function. We have previously shown that transgenic
mice with cardiac overexpression of either ...
Coupling of beta2-adrenoceptor to Gi proteins and its physiological relevance in murine cardiac myocytes.
(Circ Res, 1999-01-08)
-Transgenic mouse models have been developed to manipulate beta-adrenergic receptor
(betaAR) signal transduction. Although several of these models have altered betaAR
subtypes, the specific functional sequelae of betaAR ...
Overexpression of the cardiac beta(2)-adrenergic receptor and expression of a beta-adrenergic receptor kinase-1 (betaARK1) inhibitor both increase myocardial contractility but have differential effects on susceptibility to ischemic injury.
(Circ Res, 1999-11-26)
Cardiac beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (beta(2)AR) overexpression is a potential contractile
therapy for heart failure. Cardiac contractility was elevated in mice overexpressing
beta(2)ARs (TG4s) with no adverse effects under ...
Alterations in cardiac adrenergic signaling and calcium cycling differentially affect the progression of cardiomyopathy.
(J Clin Invest, 2001-04)
The medical treatment of chronic heart failure has undergone a dramatic transition
in the past decade. Short-term approaches for altering hemodynamics have given way
to long-term, reparative strategies, including beta-adrenergic ...
