摘要: Background—Receptor-mediated activation of myocardial Gq signaling is postulated as a biochemical mechanism transducing pressure-overload hypertrophy. The specific effects on the functional and morphological adaptations to pressure overload are not known. Methods Results—To determine intrinsic myocyte Gαq left ventricular hypertrophic response experimental overload, transgenic mice overexpressing specifically in heart (Gαq-25) nontransgenic siblings underwent microsurgical creation transverse aortic coarctation morphometric, functional, molecular characteristics these pressure-overloaded hearts were compared at increasing times after surgery. Before banding, isolated Gαq-25 myocytes exhibited contractile depression (depressed +dl/dt −dl/dt) showed pattern fetal gene expression similar known mice. Three weeks...
