| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
RhoA regulates various intracellular functions such as cytoskeleton formation and cell migration. Intracellular signals regulated by RhoA have been studied for many years for diseases, but the functions of RhoA and molecules functioning downstream therefrom in the heart are unclear.
In this study, we focused on Rho related kinase which is a target molecule of RhoA, and revealed novel target molecule in the heart of Rho related kinase. In the mouse heart failure model, it was confirmed that activation of Rho related kinase was activated. Since heart failure was improved in Rho related kinase deficient mice, it was suggested that Rho related kinase is involved in heart failure development.
