Expression of Smooth Muscle Myosin Heavy Chains and Unloaded Shortening in Single Smooth Muscle Cells [PDF]

, 1997
The functional significance of the variable expression of the smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (SM-MHC) tail isoforms, SM1 and SM2, was examined at the mRNA level (which correlates with the protein level) in individual permeabilized rabbit arterial ...

Novel Selective Cardiac Myosin-Targeted Inhibitors Alleviate Myocardial Ischaemia–Reperfusion Injury

Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy
Abstract Purpose Reperfusion of the ischaemic heart is essential to limit myocardial infarction. However, reperfusion can cause cardiomyocyte hypercontracture. Recently, cardiac myosin-targeted inhibitors (CMIs), such as Mavacamten (MYK-461) and Aficamten (CK-274), have been developed to treat patients with cardiac ...

Inflammation, Immunity, and Cardiovascular Diseases

Med Research, EarlyView.
Cardiovascular stress signals (e.g., hemodynamic shear, oxidized lipids, and ischemia) act on endothelial and immune cells to activate and amplify inflammation through NF‐κB, the NLRP3 inflammasome, and JAK/STAT signaling, inducing proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines (IL‐6, IL‐1β, TNF‐α, and CCL2) and self‐amplifying circuits; clinically, inflammatory

Up-regulating autophagy by targeting the mTOR-4EBP1 pathway: a possible mechanism for improving cardiac function in mice with experimental dilated cardiomyopathy

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2020
Background Autophagy plays a crucial role in the pathological process of cardiovascular diseases. However, little is known about the pathological mechanism underlying autophagy regulation in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).

Bright Ferritin for Non‐Invasive MRI Monitoring of the Fate of Transplanted hPSC‐Cardiomyocytes in the Infarcted Rat Heart

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To demonstrate that a recently reported bright ferritin magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) platform can track transplanted human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)‐derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC‐CMs) longitudinally and on‐demand in the rat heart.

6‐Shogaol Attenuates Doxorubicin‐Induced Cardiac and Skeletal Muscle Atrophy by Inhibiting E3 Ubiquitin Ligases and Necroptosis

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Doxorubicin induces cardiac and skeletal muscle atrophy by upregulating E3 ubiquitin ligases, inhibiting myogenic regulatory factors, and activating necroptosis. Cardiac atrophy can further exacerbate cardiotoxicity. 6‐Shogaol negatively regulates these processes and attenuates doxorubicin‐induced cardiac and skeletal muscle atrophy.

Omecamtiv mecarbil and Mavacamten target the same myosin pocket despite opposite effects in heart contraction

Nature Communications
Inherited cardiomyopathies are common cardiac diseases worldwide, leading in the late stage to heart failure and death. The most promising treatments against these diseases are small molecules directly modulating the force produced by β-cardiac myosin ...
