| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is suggested that fatal arrhythmia is linked to long-term excessive alcohol use, and intracellular signaling pathways are believed to be involved in the mechanism. In the present study, using a microarray technique, a comprehensive analysis of gene expression profiles of cardiomyocytes was performed in a mouse model of chronic alcohol use. The results showed differing gene profiles in the acute and withdrawal phases, which suggested that activation of the JAK/STAT pathway and the cytokine-mediated inflammatory response may be occurring in the acute phase, while persistence of STAT3 and STAT6 activity and cell proliferation, i.e., remodeling, may be occurring in the withdrawal phase.
