Research Abstract |
TRIC-A is abundantly expressed in excitable tissues. Cardiac fibrosis was significantly induced by chronic beta-adrenergic receptor stimulation (Isoproterenol, Iso) in Tric-a-knockout mice. In this study, to investigate the underlying mechanisms, we focused on cardiomyocyte death. Elevated serum troponin T level and increased membrane permeability of evans blue dye which means cardiomyocyte necrosis induced by isoproterenol stimulation were detected in Tric-a-knockout mice. Moreover mitochondrial dysfunction was observed in Iso-stimulated Tric-a-knockout heart under electron microscopic examination. Thus, it is suggested that remarkable cardiomyocyte necrosis is at least in part related to Iso-induced cardiac fibrosis in Tric-a-knockout mice.
