| Research Abstract |
1.We demonstrated that long-term administration of adrenomedullin(AM) has renoprotective effects in hypertensive rat model. We also showed putative its mechanism.
2.We investigated the molecular form of AM in the pericardial fluid in ischemic heart disease and heart failure. We showed that AM-mature is higher in pericardial fluid than plasma, and that it is increased in acute coronary syndrome and heart failure induced by pressure overload.
3.To investigate the source of plasma AM in pheochromocytoma patient, we measured plasma AM levels in the plasma obtained from adrenal vein. AM levels in adrenal vein is similar to the AM in other portion, suggesting that AM is produced in the peripheral vascular bed.
4.We investigated the molecular form of AM, mRNA levels of AM,CRLR,RAMP2,and RAMP3 in the cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure, and showed that they are increased in cardiac hypertrophy and further increased in heart failure.
5.We demonstrated that long-term administration of AM delay the progression of heart failure and it improved heart weight, hemodynamics, cardiac function, and cardiac gene expression.
6.We demonstrated that both molecular forms of AM are increased in congenital heart disease and that it is related to hypoxia.
7.We demonstrated that cultured cardiac fibroblasts secrete AM-mature and that cytokine stimulates the production of AM, and mRNA levels of AM,CRLR,RAMP2,and RAMP3. We also showed that endogenous AM exerts as an anti-fibrotic factor.
8.We demonstrated that natriuretic peptides have anti-atherosclerotic effects in vivo and that CNP is produced in the heart.
9.We demonstrated that the deficiency or the reduction of natriuretic peptide receptor gene have susceptibility in heart failure.
