Loss of myocardial LIF receptor in experimental heart failure reduces cardiotrophin-1 cytoprotection. A role for neurohumoral agonists? [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Cardiomyocyte loss is involved in the transition from compensatory left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) to heart failure (HF). Our aim was to investigate the status of the leukaemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR)/gp130 survival pathway and ...

Induction of muscle stem cell quiescence by the secreted niche factor Oncostatin M
The factors that mediate quiescence of muscle stem cells are unknown. The authors show that Oncostatin M is produced by skeletal muscle, suppresses stem cell proliferation, and that its deletion in muscle results in stem cell depletion and impaired ...

Elevation of Plasma Oncostatin M in Heart Failure
Oncostatin M (OSM) is an inflammatory cytokine of the gp130 family. OSM could participate in adverse cardiovascular remodeling through regulation of FGF23.OSM levels were determined in 80 heart failure patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF).OSM levels are significantly increased in HFrEF patients compared with healthy subjects.
