Enhanced myocardial relaxation in vivo in transgenic mice overexpressing the beta2-adrenergic receptor is associated with reduced phospholamban protein.
(J Clin Invest, 1996-04-01)
To assess the effect of targeted myocardial beta-adrenergic receptor (AR) stimulation
on relaxation and phospholamban regulation, we studied the physiological and biochemical
alterations associated with overexpression of ...
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 ...
Myocardial expression of a constitutively active alpha 1B-adrenergic receptor in transgenic mice induces cardiac hypertrophy.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1994-10-11)
Transgenic mice were generated by using the alpha-myosin heavy chain promoter coupled
to the coding sequence of a constitutively active mutant alpha 1B-adrenergic receptor
(AR). These transgenic animals demonstrated ...
Ligand-induced overexpression of a constitutively active beta2-adrenergic receptor: pharmacological creation of a phenotype in transgenic mice.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1997-01-07)
Transgenic overexpression (40- to 100-fold) of the wild-type human beta2-adrenergic
receptor in the hearts of mice leads to a marked increase in cardiac contractility,
which is apparently due to the low level of spontaneous ...
