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 ...
Functionally active targeting domain of the beta-adrenergic receptor kinase: an inhibitor of G beta gamma-mediated stimulation of type II adenylyl cyclase.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1994-04-26)
The beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (beta ARK) phosphorylates its membrane-associated
receptor substrates, such as the beta-adrenergic receptor, triggering events leading
to receptor desensitization. beta ARK activity is ...
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 ...
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 ...
Expression of a beta-adrenergic receptor kinase 1 inhibitor prevents the development of myocardial failure in gene-targeted mice.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1998-06-09)
Heart failure is accompanied by severely impaired beta-adrenergic receptor (betaAR)
function, which includes loss of betaAR density and functional uncoupling of remaining
receptors. An important mechanism for the ...
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 ...
Catecholamines, cardiac beta-adrenergic receptors, and heart failure.
(Circulation, 2000-04-11)
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 ...
