Outline of Final Research Achievements |
PTRF/Cavin-1 deficiency in mice causes loss of caveolae in cardiomyocytes, impaired cardiac function accompanying cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis. MURC deficiency in mice attenuates cardiac hypertrophy induced by α1-adrenergic receptor stimulation and pulmonary hypertension induced by hypoxia. MURC deficiency, on the other hand, exacerbated abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in mice. These results reveals that PTRF/Cavin-1 regulates cardiac function, and that MURC is involved in the development of cardiac hypertrophy, pulmonary hypertension, and AAA.
