53 9052888 To characterize the molecular mechanism of cardiac and renal complications in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), we examined the gene expression of Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats, a new animal model for human NIDDM, at the ages of 14 weeks (prediabetic stage), 30 weeks (NIDDM stage), and 54 weeks (IDDM stage).
54 9052888 In 14-week-old OLETF rats, cardiac mRNAs for transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) and extracellular matrix, including collagen types I, III, and IV and laminin, were significantly increased compared with control rats (Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka rats).

56 9140815 Therefore, we determined the separate and combined effects of thyroid hormone (T3) and insulin treatment on rodent cardiac myosin heavy chain (MHC) expression using a model of combined thyroid deficiency (Tx) and diabetes (D).
57 9140815 The combination of Tx and D completely transformed cardiac isomyosin expression such that the fast alpha-myosin heavy chain (MHC) was completely repressed at both the protein and mRNA level of expression; whereas, the slow beta-MHC was upregulated to constitute 100% of the total MHC pool, based on both protein and mRNA analyses.
58 9140815 Daily low doses of exogenous T3 treatment (3 micrograms/kg b.w. i.p.). in the absence of insulin treatment, partially restored expression of the alpha-MHC, while inhibiting expression of the beta-isoform.
59 9140815 Furthermore, when exogenous T3 was administered in conjunction with insulin, the effect on MHC mRNA expression was greater than that of T3 alone, thus suggesting the existence of interaction between T3 and insulin action in the regulation of MHC mRNA expression.
60 9140815 Collectively, these findings suggest that: (a) thyroid state is a dominant regulator of cardiac isomyosin phenotype: and (b) insulin does not exert any regulatory influence on cardiac MHC expression in a severe thyroid deficient state, instead it requires a critical level of circulating T3 in order to be effective in blunting MHC transformation associated with diabetes.
61 9140815 It is thus concluded that the regulation of cardiac MHC by insulin is a complex mechanism involving interaction of insulin with subcellular factors likely to have impact on the specific action of T3.

81 10580427 In both the insulin-secreting cell line RINm5F and rat pancreatic islets, the RLC was basally phosphorylated on the myosin light chain kinase sites (Ser19/Thr18).
82 10580427 Like the other insulin secretagogues, however, PMA did promote serine phosphorylation of the myosin heavy chain (MHC) in RINm5F cells.

84 10580427 Overall, our results demonstrate that in RINm5F cells and rat pancreatic islets, MHC phosphorylation correlates better with insulin secretion than phosphorylation of the RLC.
85 10580427 We therefore propose that in beta-cells, in contrast to other secretory cells, phosphorylation of the MHC is more important than that of the RLC for regulation of the myosin II protein complex during insulin secretion.

101 11557574 Immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis of the diabetic heart showed that the density of the Kv4.2 protein decreased, whereas Kv1.4 protein increased.

138 15362513 Therefore, we examined the effects of RAS blockade by enalapril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, and losartan, an angiotensin receptor AT1 antagonist, on cardiac function, myofibrillar and myosin ATPase activity as well as myosin heavy chain (MHC) isozyme expression in diabetic hearts.
139 15362513 Both drugs also attenuated the decrease in myofibrillar Ca2+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase and myosin ATPase activity seen in diabetic rats.
140 15522914 Intramyocardial lipid deposition was associated with an up-regulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) -regulated genes, myosin heavy chain beta (MHC-beta), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha).
141 15680071 This study was undertaken to analyse the changes in expression of 5 cardiac genes, including atrial natriuretic peptide, alpha- and beta-myosin heavy chain, and cardiac and skeletal alpha-actin genes, using a rat neonatal model, in which cardiac hypertrophy was induced via maternal diabetes.
142 15680071 In the first 28 days, the level of mRNA for alpha-myosin heavy chain increased slightly, while that for atrial natriuretic peptide and beta-myosin heavy chain decreased continuously similar to the controls, but at a significantly faster rate.
143 15680071 This study was undertaken to analyse the changes in expression of 5 cardiac genes, including atrial natriuretic peptide, alpha- and beta-myosin heavy chain, and cardiac and skeletal alpha-actin genes, using a rat neonatal model, in which cardiac hypertrophy was induced via maternal diabetes.
144 15680071 In the first 28 days, the level of mRNA for alpha-myosin heavy chain increased slightly, while that for atrial natriuretic peptide and beta-myosin heavy chain decreased continuously similar to the controls, but at a significantly faster rate.
145 15797988 We tested the hypothesis whether systemic PPARgamma activation, by changing the metabolic profile in a model of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (the ZDF rat) in vivo, improves contractile function of the heart in vitro.
146 15797988 In ZDF-V hearts, transcript levels of PPARalpha-regulated genes and of myosin heavy chain-beta were upregulated, whereas GLUT4 was downregulated compared with ZL.
147 15797988 Agonist treatment of ZDF rats reduced PPARalpha-regulated genes and increased transcripts of GLUT4 and GLUT1.
148 15797988 In conclusion, by changing the metabolic profile, reducing myocardial lipid accumulation, and promoting the downregulation of PPARalpha-regulated genes, PPARgamma activation leads to an increased capacity of the myocardium to oxidize glucose and to a tighter coupling of oxidative metabolism and contraction in the setting of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
149 15831797 Single-fiber diameter, Ca(2+)-activated peak force, specific tension, activation threshold, and pCa(50) as well as the myosin heavy chain isoform expression (MHC) were determined.
150 15883415 Decreases in the synthesis rates of many muscle proteins, specifically of myosin heavy chain and mitochondrial proteins, occur with age.
151 16046301 Increased p85/55/50 expression and decreased phosphotidylinositol 3-kinase activity in insulin-resistant human skeletal muscle.
152 16046301 We found a highly significant inverse correlation between in vivo insulin sensitivity (as measured by the glucose infusion rate) and increased protein expression of p85/55/50, protein kinase C (PKC)-theta activity, levels of pSer307 insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 and p-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK)-1, and myosin heavy chain IIx fibers.
153 16046301 Increased basal phosphorylation of Ser307 IRS-1 in the obese and type 2 diabetic subjects corresponds with decrease in insulin-stimulated IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation, PI 3-kinase activity, and insulin-induced activation of Akt and, more prominently, PKC-zeta/lambda.
154 16046301 In summary, increased expression of the PI 3-kinase adaptor subunits p85/55/50, as well as increased activity of the proinflammatory kinases JNK-1, PKC-theta, and, to a lesser extent, inhibitor of kappaB kinase-beta, are associated with increased basal Ser307 IRS-1 phosphorylation and decreased PI 3-kinase activity and may follow a common pathway to attenuate in vivo insulin sensitivity in insulin-resistant subjects.
155 16054675 This study evaluated mature and immature myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform immunolocalisation in soleus muscle of diabetic rats with documented motor neuropathy.
156 16123338 Cardiac-specific overexpression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha causes insulin resistance in heart and liver.
157 16123338 Mice with heart-specific overexpression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)alpha showed a metabolic and cardiomyopathic phenotype similar to the diabetic heart, and we determined tissue-specific glucose metabolism and insulin action in vivo during hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps in awake myosin heavy chain (MHC)-PPARalpha mice (12-14 weeks of age).
158 16123338 Basal and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in heart was significantly reduced in the MHC-PPARalpha mice, and cardiac insulin resistance was mostly attributed to defects in insulin-stimulated activities of insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1-associated phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase, Akt, and tyrosine phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3).
159 16123338 Interestingly, MHC-PPARalpha mice developed hepatic insulin resistance associated with defects in insulin-mediated IRS-2-associated PI 3-kinase activity, increased hepatic triglyceride, and circulating interleukin-6 levels.
160 16123338 Overall, these findings indicate that increased activity of PPARalpha, as occurs in the diabetic heart, leads to cardiac insulin resistance associated with defects in insulin signaling and STAT3 activity, subsequently leading to reduced cardiac function.
161 16124998 In addition, a decrease in whole body protein turnover, mixed muscle protein synthesis, myosin heavy chain synthesis, and mitochondrial protein synthesis have been reported.
162 16205433 Effect of endurance exercise on myosin heavy chain isoform expression in diabetic rats with peripheral neuropathy.
163 16631532 Metallothionein alleviates cardiac dysfunction in streptozotocin-induced diabetes: role of Ca2+ cycling proteins, NADPH oxidase, poly(ADP-Ribose) polymerase and myosin heavy chain isozyme.
164 16631532 This study was designed to examine the effect of cardiac overexpression of the heavy metal scavenger metallothionein (MT) on cardiac contractile function, intracellular Ca(2+) cycling proteins, stress-activated signaling molecules and the myosin heavy chain (MHC) isozyme in diabetes.
165 16631532 Diabetes enhanced expression of the AT(1) receptor, phospholamban, the p47(phox) NADPH oxidase subunit and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), depressed the level of SERCA2a, Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger and triggered a beta-MHC isozyme switch.
166 16631532 Collectively, these data suggest a beneficial effect of MT in the therapeutics of diabetic cardiomyopathy, possibly through a mechanism related to NADPH oxidase, PARP and MHC isozyme switch.

171 16777978 C-jun N-terminal kinase mediates tumor necrosis factor-alpha suppression of differentiation in myoblasts.
172 16777978 The stress kinase c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) was recently shown to be involved in the pathophysiology of major inflammatory conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, stroke, obesity, and type II diabetes.
173 16777978 Here we used a novel, JNK interacting protein (JIP)-derived JNK peptide inhibitor to establish that JNK suppresses the biological activity of IGF-I in skeletal muscle progenitor cells.
174 16777978 In these myoblasts, TNFalpha and its downstream receptor substrates, neutral-sphingomyelinase (N-SMase) and N-acetyl-d-sphingosine (C2-ceramide), induce JNK kinase activity in a time-dependent manner.
175 16777978 Consistent with these results, TNFalpha induces JNK binding to insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) but is unable to inhibit IGF-I-induced IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation in myoblasts that are treated with the JNK peptide inhibitor.
176 16777978 More importantly, JNK activation induced by TNFalpha, C2-ceramide, and N-SMase is associated with reduced expression of the critical muscle transcription factor myogenin as well as the differentiation marker myosin heavy chain (MHC).
177 16777978 The JNK peptide inhibitor, but not the control peptide, completely reverses this inhibition of both myogenin and MHC.
178 16777978 In the absence of IGF-I, TNFalpha, C2-ceramide, N-SMase and the JNK inhibitor are inactive, as shown by their inability to affect IRS tyrosine phosphorylation and protein expression of myogenin and MHC.
179 16777978 These results establish that the resistance of muscle progenitor cells to IGF-I, which is caused by inflammatory stimuli, is mediated by the JNK stress kinase pathway.
180 16885993 A key mechanism regulating this interaction and subsequent development and maintenance of force is alternative splicing of SM myosin heavy chain (MHC) and 17 kDa essential SM myosin light chain (MLC) pre-mRNAs.
181 16935841 Oxidative balance, advanced glycated end products (AGEs) and AGE receptors, cardiac myogenic factors, and myosin heavy-chain gene expression were determined in the left ventricle of treated and untreated STZ-diabetic rats and ZDF rats.
182 16935841 Nuclear factor-kappaB activation triggered a cascade of signaling, which finally led to the switch in the cardiac myosin heavy-chain (MHC) gene expression from the alpha-MHC isoform to the beta-MHC isoform.
183 16935841 DHEA treatment, by preventing the activation of the oxidative pathways induced by hyperglycemia, counteracted the enhanced AGE receptor activation in the heart of STZ-diabetic rats and ZDF rats and normalized downstream signaling, thus avoiding impairment of the cardiac myogenic factors, heart autonomic nervous system and neural crest derivatives (HAND) and myogenic enhancer factor-2, and the switch in MHC gene expression, which are the early events in diabetic cardiomyopathy.

187 17307996 Two genes encoding cardiac myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms, beta and alpha, are arranged in tandem 4.5 kb apart.
188 18037994 To address its role in myocardial metabolism, we generated transgenic mice with cardiac-specific expression of PPARbeta/delta, driven by the myosin heavy chain (MHC-PPARbeta/delta mice).
189 18037994 In reporter assays, we showed that PPARbeta/delta and PPARalpha exerted differential transcriptional control of the GLUT4 promoter, which may explain the observed isotype-specific effects on glucose uptake.
190 18042831 Protein analysis showed increased levels of the myosin heavy chain, slow fiber type protein, and the complexes I, II, III, IV, and V of the oxidative phosphorylation.
191 18199585 IGF-I alleviates diabetes-induced RhoA activation, eNOS uncoupling, and myocardial dysfunction.
192 18199585 This study was designed to delineate the beneficial effects of IGF-I with a focus on RhoA, Akt, and eNOS coupling.
193 18199585 Diabetes-induced O2(-) accumulation was ablated by the NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), indicating endothelial NOS (eNOS) uncoupling, all of which except heart size were negated by IGF-I.
194 18199585 Diabetes depressed expression of Kv1.2 and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), increased beta-myosin heavy-chain expression, stimulated p38 MAPK, and reduced levels of total Akt and phosphorylated Akt/eNOS, all of which with the exception of myosin heavy chain were attenuated by IGF-I.
195 18199585 In addition, Y27632 and the eNOS coupler folate abrogated glucose toxicity-induced PS decline, TR90 prolongation, while it increased O2(-) and decreased NO and Kv1.2 levels.
196 18286426 Studies have demonstrated MSCs transplantation can prevent apoptosis of ischemic heart via upregulation of Akt and eNOS and inhibit myocardial fibrosis of dilated cardiomyopathy by decreasing the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) in rat models.
197 18286426 Using independent experimental approaches, we showed that MSCs presented in the myocardium 4 weeks after transplantation and some of them were positive for the cardiac markers Troponin T and myosin heavy chain.
198 18286426 Furthermore, MSCs transplantation increased MMP-2 activity and decreased transcriptional level of MMP-9.
199 18372234 Concurrently, we found in D and DS an increase in cardiac beta-myosin heavy chain, atrial natriuretic peptide, skeletal alpha-actin mRNA, type III collagen, and transforming growth factor-beta.
200 18372234 Myocardial angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) mRNA levels were increased while ACE2 mRNA levels were decreased in both D and DS groups.
201 18372234 Cardiac angiotensin-1 (AT1) receptor protein levels were unchanged but the levels of phosphorylated (p) ERK and Jun-NH(2)-protein kinase (JNK) were increased in D and DS.
202 18372234 The increase in ACE, the decrease in ACE2, and the increase in cardiac pERK and pJNK suggest an increase in free angiotensin II and AT1R signaling in the diabetic myocardium as a possible mechanism contributing to cardiac remodeling in diabetes.
203 18514627 Changes in enzyme (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dehydrogenase, cytochrome c oxidase) activities and myosin heavy chain (MHC) composition were measured in the left ventricle.
204 18566944 Muscle alterations include gross atrophy and shift to fast myosin heavy chain in the hemiparetic (contralateral) leg muscle; both are related to gait deficit severity.
205 18566945 These gene differences were consistent with reported differences after stroke in areas such as injury and inflammation markers, the myosin heavy chain profile, and high prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes.
206 18670098 Inhibition of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 by Krüppel-like factor 5 small interfering RNA in the tumor necrosis factor- alpha-activated human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
207 18670098 This study was made to determine whether KLF5 may associate with MCP-1 expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), in terms of the initial events of damaged vascular cells in diabetes.
208 18670098 MCP-1 expression was markedly augmented by the treatment of TNF-alpha to HUVECs, but this augmentation was inhibited by KLF5 small interfering RNA, which primarily suppressed the expression of KLF5 at mRNA levels in the cells.
209 18670098 Though TNF-alpha augmented the levels of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and attenuated those of embryonic form of myosin heavy chain (SMemb) in HUVECs, the inhibition of KLF5 did not affect the levels of these cytokines in the cells.
210 18794854 Multiple common SNPs (allele frequencies ranging from 0.2 to 0.6) in the gene encoding nonmuscle myosin heavy chain type II isoform A (MYH9) were associated with two to four times greater risk of nondiabetic ESRD and accounted for a large proportion of the excess risk of ESRD observed in African compared to European Americans.
211 19153477 Polymorphisms in the nonmuscle myosin heavy chain 9 gene (MYH9) are associated with albuminuria in hypertensive African Americans: the HyperGEN study.
212 19158402 In addition, adult MGsKO mice showed an increased proportion of type I (slow-twitch, oxidative) fibers based on kinetic properties and myosin heavy chain isoforms, despite the fact that these muscles had reduced expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor coactivator protein-1alpha (PGC-1alpha) and reduced mitochondrial content and oxidative capacity.
213 19387472 Linkage to chromosome 22q13, independent of diabetes and hypertension, was detected over a region containing the non-muscle myosin heavy chain type II isoform A (MYH9) gene (LOD score=3.52).
214 19567477 Non-muscle myosin heavy chain 9 gene MYH9 associations in African Americans with clinically diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus-associated ESRD.
215 19633204 Dimethylthiourea normalizes velocity-dependent, but not force-dependent, index of ventricular performance in diabetic rats: role of myosin heavy chain isozyme.
216 19633204 Both normalized E(max) (E(maxn)) and afterload-adjusted Q(max) (Q(maxad)) were depressed in diabetic rats, concomitant with altered myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform composition and its upstream regulators, such as myocyte enhancer factor-2 (MEF-2) and heart autonomic nervous system and neural crest derivatives (HAND).

219 19684093 The CAAT-binding transcription factor 1/nuclear factor 1 binding site is important in beta-myosin heavy chain antisense promoter regulation in rats.
220 19684093 The rat heart expresses two myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms, beta and alpha; these genes are arranged in tandem on the same chromosome.
221 19684093 In the present paper, we demonstrate with electrophoretic mobility shift analyses that ventricular nuclear proteins are interacting with a nuclear factor 1/CAAT-binding transcription factor 1 (NF1/CTF1) binding site, and a supershift assay indicates that the protein binding at this site is antigenetically related to the CTF1/NF1 factor.
222 19684093 Moreover, a mutation of the CTF1/NF1 site within the 559 bp promoter region nearly abolished promoter activity in vivo in control, STZ- and PTU-treated rats.
223 19684093 The CAAT-binding transcription factor 1/nuclear factor 1 binding site is important in beta-myosin heavy chain antisense promoter regulation in rats.

227 19738937 The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) isoforms are normally expressed in coordination with the corresponding myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms in the fibers of skeletal muscle but this coordination is often disrupted in pathological conditions.
228 19801494 Consistent with metabolic perturbation, and a switch to fatty acid oxidation from glucose oxidation in Ins2WT/C96Y hearts, expression of mitochondrial long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isoform 4 were increased.
229 19801494 Insulin treatment reversed the diastolic dysfunction, the elevated B-type natriuretic peptide and beta-myosin heavy chain, and the reduced sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 2a levels with abolition of cardiac lipotoxicity.
230 20090419 We have examined gene expression changes and studied histone H3 and H4 acetylation as well as dimethylation of lysine 4 on histone H3 on promoters of alpha-Myosin heavy chain gene (alpha-MHC), beta-Myosin heavy chain gene (beta-MHC), Atrial natriuretic peptide gene (ANp), B-type natriuretic peptide gene (BNP) and Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase gene (SERCA2a).
231 20347640 Novel genetic analysis methods and recently identified major kidney disease susceptibility genes are discussed, including novel perspectives for categorizing complex forms of nephropathy based on the expanding spectrum of non-muscle myosin heavy chain 9 gene-associated disease.
232 20930262 Our findings indicate that doxorubicin modulates the expression of the hypertrophy-associated genes, ventricular myosin light chain-2, the alpha isoform of myosin heavy chain and atrial natriuretic peptide, an effect which is augmented by Trichostatin A.
233 21074826 Admixture mapping recently identified the nonmuscle myosin heavy chain 9 gene (MYH9) as a susceptibility factor strongly associated with several nondiabetic etiologies of end-stage renal disease in African Americans, less strongly with diabetes-associated end-stage renal disease.
234 21136853 In T1DM with DN, beta-actin and three isoforms of tubulin beta-2 chain, tropomodulin-3, and LASP-1 were decreased, whereas two tubulin beta-4 chain isoforms, one alpha actinin-4 isoform, membrane-organizing extension spike protein (MOESIN), FLJ00279 (corresponding to a fragment of myosin heavy chain, non-muscle type A), vinculin, a tropomyosin isoform, and the macrophage capping protein were increased.
235 21216827 Expression of genes encoding various L-type Ca(2+) channel proteins (Cacna1c, Cacna1g, Cacna1h and Cacna2d1) and cardiac muscle proteins (Myh7) were upregulated, and genes encoding intracellular Ca(2+) transport regulatory proteins (Atp2a2 and Calm1) and some cardiac muscle proteins (Myh6, Myl2, Actc1, Tnni3, Tnn2, and Tnnc1) were downregulated in ZDF heart compared with control heart.
236 21216827 A change in the expression of genes encoding myosin heavy chain and L-type Ca(2+) channel proteins might partly underlie alterations in the time course of contraction and Ca(2+) transients in ventricular myocytes from ZDF rats.
237 21216827 Expression of genes encoding various L-type Ca(2+) channel proteins (Cacna1c, Cacna1g, Cacna1h and Cacna2d1) and cardiac muscle proteins (Myh7) were upregulated, and genes encoding intracellular Ca(2+) transport regulatory proteins (Atp2a2 and Calm1) and some cardiac muscle proteins (Myh6, Myl2, Actc1, Tnni3, Tnn2, and Tnnc1) were downregulated in ZDF heart compared with control heart.
238 21216827 A change in the expression of genes encoding myosin heavy chain and L-type Ca(2+) channel proteins might partly underlie alterations in the time course of contraction and Ca(2+) transients in ventricular myocytes from ZDF rats.
239 21321124 We sought to evaluate the metabolic and functional consequences of chronic suppression of GO in heart as modeled by transgenic mice with cardiac-specific overexpression of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (myosin heavy chain (MHC)-PDK4 mice), an inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase.
240 21321124 The expression of the known AMP-activated protein kinase target, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), a master regulator of mitochondrial function and biogenesis, was also activated in the MHC-PDK4 heart.
241 21417718 The diabetic rat heart and high glucose conditions increased the ratio of myosin heavy-chain isoform β to α indicative of diseased states; thus, this model system captures some molecular aspects of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
242 21436590 Here, we show that the α-isoform of myosin heavy chain (α-MyHC, which is encoded by the gene Myh6) is the pathogenic autoantigen for CD4+ T cells in a spontaneous mouse model of myocarditis.
243 21478152 Resistin promotes cardiac hypertrophy via the AMP-activated protein kinase/mammalian target of rapamycin (AMPK/mTOR) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase/insulin receptor substrate 1 (JNK/IRS1) pathways.
244 21478152 Resistin has been suggested to be involved in the development of diabetes and insulin resistance.
245 21478152 Therefore, we wanted to elucidate the mechanisms associated with resistin-induced cardiac hypertrophy and myocardial insulin resistance.
246 21478152 Overexpression of resistin using adenoviral vector in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes was associated with inhibition of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity, activation of tuberous sclerosis complex 2/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, and increased cell size, [(3)H]leucine incorporation (i.e. protein synthesis) and mRNA expression of the hypertrophic marker genes, atrial natriuretic factor, brain natriuretic peptide, and β-myosin heavy chain.
247 21478152 Activation of AMPK with 5-aminoimidazole-4-carbozamide-1-β-D-ribifuranoside or inhibition of mTOR with rapamycin or mTOR siRNA attenuated these resistin-induced changes.
248 21478152 Furthermore, resistin increased serine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS1) through the activation of the apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1/c-Jun N-terminal Kinase (JNK) pathway, a module known to stimulate insulin resistance.
249 21478152 Inhibition of JNK (with JNK inhibitor SP600125 or using dominant-negative JNK) reduced serine 307 phosphorylation of IRS1.
250 21478152 Resistin also stimulated the activation of p70(S6K), a downstream kinase target of mTOR, and increased phosphorylation of the IRS1 serine 636/639 residues, whereas treatment with rapamycin reduced the phosphorylation of these residues.
251 21478152 These data demonstrate that resistin induces cardiac hypertrophy and myocardial insulin resistance, possibly via the AMPK/mTOR/p70(S6K) and apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1/JNK/IRS1 pathways.
252 21765056 The HFNC group demonstrated a myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform switch from fast MHC-α to slow MHC-β, which was prevented in the HFSAT group.
253 21849968 Hemoglobin S, non-muscle myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9), and apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) risk variants were genotyped in 3258 unrelated African Americans: 1085 with non-diabetic ESRD, 996 with type 2 diabetes-associated ESRD, and 1177 controls.
254 21849968 Since APOL1 is strongly associated with ESRD in African Americans, interactions between APOL1 and MYH9 risk variants and hemoglobin S were assessed using case-only and case-control centered two-way logistic regression interaction analyses.
255 21849968 In addition, no evidence of APOL1 or MYH9 interactions with sickle cell trait was detected.
256 22031600 This study explored the role of the NADPH oxidase Nox4 as a source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) involved in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
257 22031600 NADPH oxidase activity, ROS generation, and the expression of Nox4, but Nox1 or Nox2, were increased in left ventricular tissue of the diabetic rats.
258 22031600 Expression of molecular markers of hypertrophy and myofibrosis including fibronectin, collagen, α-smooth muscle actin, and β-myosin heavy chain were also increased.
259 22031600 Exposure of cultured cardiac myocytes to 25 mM glucose [high glucose (HG)] increased NADPH oxidase activity, the expression of Nox4, and molecular markers of cardiac injury.
260 22311732 Tadalafil reversed the coordinated alterations of cytoskeletal/contractile proteins such as myosin light chain (MLY) 2 and 4, myosin heavy chain α and myosin-binding protein C which contributes to contractile dysfunction.
261 22311732 The expression of intermediate filament protein vimentin and extra-cellular matrix proteins like cysteine and glycine rich protein-3 and collagen type VI α were upregulated in db/db mice indicating cardiac remodeling in diabetes.
262 22311732 Tadalafil also enhanced antioxidant enzyme glutathione S-transferase Kappa-1 (GSKT-1) and downregulated redox regulatory chaperones like heat shock protein 8 (HSPA8), and 75 kD glucose regulatory protein (75GRP).

264 22396201 Fiber type (myosin heavy chain [MHC] isoform) and glucose uptake were determined for each single fiber.
265 22396201 A novel method to measure glucose uptake and myosin heavy chain isoform expression of single fibers from rat skeletal muscle.
266 22396201 Fiber type (myosin heavy chain [MHC] isoform) and glucose uptake were determined for each single fiber.
267 22592762 The cavernous tissue segments were subjected to quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction to determine the expressions of smooth muscle α-actin (SMA), SM myosin heavy chain (SMMHC), smoothelin, calponin and myocardin.
268 22592762 Cell contractility in vitro and western blot analysis of SMA and SMMHC in the cavernous tissues and cells were determined.
269 22592762 Compared with the control group (n=8) and the diabetes mellitus group (n=5), the expressions of SMA, calponin, SMMHC, smoothelin and myocardin mRNA were decreased in the cavernous tissues in rats of the diabetic erectile dysfunction group (n=15; P=0.001 and 0.02, P=0.014 and 0.012, both P<0.001, P=0.005 and <0.001, P=0.003 and 0.035, respectively).
270 22592762 The levels of SMA and SMMHC proteins showed a significant decrease in cavernous tissues and cultured cells in rats of the diabetic erectile dysfunction group.
271 23029549 We created mice with cardiac specific expression of human AR (hAR) using the α-myosin heavy chain (MHC) promoter and studied these animals during aging and with reduced fatty acid (FA) oxidation. hAR transgenic expression did not alter cardiac function or glucose and FA oxidation gene expression in young mice.
272 23196711 To define the role of Astragalus Polysaccharides (APS) treatment for PPARα-mediated lipotoxicity in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy, myosin heavy chain [MHC]-PPARα mice with high-fat diet were administrated with APS or vehicle for 16 weeks.
273 23285077 Polymorphisms in the non-muscle myosin heavy chain gene (MYH9) are associated with lower glomerular filtration rate in mixed ancestry diabetic subjects from South Africa.
274 23342106 To determine if Mtor plays a role during mouse cardiac development, cardiomyocyte specific Mtor deletion was achieved using α myosin heavy chain (α-MHC) driven Cre recombinase.
275 23349479 In contrast, myosin heavy chain promoter (MHC)-ATGL mice were resistant to diabetes-induced increases in intramyocardial TAG levels, lipotoxicity, and cardiac dysfunction.
276 23567901 To determine why this occurs, we studied the effects of FO in mice with heart failure either due to transgenic expression of the lipid uptake protein acyl CoA synthetase 1 (ACS1) or overexpression of the transcription factor peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) γ via the cardiac-specific myosin heavy chain (MHC) promoter.
277 23567901 Compared with control mice fed with NPD, ACS1, and MHC-PPARγ, mice fed with NPD had reduced cardiac function and survival with cardiac fibrosis.
278 23776349 Pilot study of an association between a common variant in the non-muscle myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9) gene and type 2 diabetic nephropathy in a Taiwanese population.
279 23776349 Recent studies have demonstrated that the myosin, heavy chain 9, non-muscle (MYH9) gene is associated with ESRD in African Americans.

282 23942549 After thirteen weeks of treatment, metabolic changes were observed; additionally, the switching of muscle fiber types was also apparent through myosin heavy chain remodeling, implying that changes are occurring at the molecular level.
283 24012810 Increased myocardial short-range forces in a rodent model of diabetes reflect elevated content of β myosin heavy chain.
284 24012810 The STZ-induced increase in short-ranges forces is thus unlikely to reflect changes to titin and/or collagen filaments.
285 24012810 Gel electrophoresis showed that STZ increased the relative expression of β myosin heavy chain.
