Adenovirus-mediated gene transfer of FK506-binding proteins FKBP12.6 and FKBP12 in failing and non-failing rabbit ventricular myocytes
Die FK-506 Bindungsproteine (FKBP) können in Skelettmuskel (FKBP12) und Herzmuskel (FKBP12.6) die Kalziumfreisetzung aus dem sarkoplasmatischen Retikulum (SR) durch Bindung am Ryanodin Rezeptor (RyR) beeinflussen. FKBP12.6 bindet an den kardialen RyR (RyR2) und FKBP12 ausschließlich an den …

Sunitinib-Induced Cardiotoxicity Exposes Microvascular and Metabolic Derangements In The Failing Heart
<p>Cardiac dysfunction is one of the largest obstacles to effective cancer treatment. Not only do a growing number of cancer patients have significant cardiovascular risk factors at the time of diagnosis, but a number of targeted therapies can themselves cause cardiac dysfunction. These newer …

The electrophysiology of the atrioventricular node in normal and failing rabbit hearts
Conduction abnormalities affect prognosis in chronic heart failure (CHF). Previous investigators have observed abnormal delay in atrioventricular (AV) conduction in a rabbit model of left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) due to apical myocardial infarction. In this model, AV conduction time increased …

Beyond the failing school: Race, space, and opportunity in Chicago public schools
The responsibility of public education is rarely attached to public officials, urban planners, or the business community. Instead much of the research today looks to parents, school administrators, or students in an attempt to understand the problems of America’s public schools. The objective of …

Multivariate analysis of transcriptional changes following restoration of SERCA2a levels in failing rat hearts
We have identified the genes responsible for SERCA2a-induced reversal of heart failure, the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and developed countries. We have previously shown that restoration of a key enzyme that controls intracellular Ca2+ handling, the Sarcoplasmic …

The linking of angiogenesis to contractile performance and substrate metabolism in the hypertrophied and failing heart
It has been suggested that a failure of angiogenesis (capillary growth) to keep pace with myocyte expansion is the driving force which pushes hypertrophied hearts into a state of failure marked by contractile dysfunction and alterations in the mechanisms governing energy production. The aims of …
