Research Abstract |
The mechanisms of cardiac hypertrophy associated with LEOPARD syndrome were analyzed by using P19CL6 cells, which is a convenient cardiomyocyte differentiation model in vitro. The LEOPARD-type mutant SHP2 attenuated the terminal differentiation of cardiomyocyte with increased proliferative activity, as compared to the controls and Noonan-type SHP2 mutant. It also induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. These alterations were associated with the dysregulation of Akt/GSk3β/β-catenin pathway.
