Differential Regulation of Angiotensin II-induced Expression of Connective Tissue Growth Factor by Protein Kinase C Isoforms in the Myocardium
8 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
Protein kinase C (PKC) and angiotensin II (AngII) can regulate cardiac function in pathological conditions such as in diabetes or ischemic heart disease. We have reported that expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is increased in the myocardium of diabetic mice. Now we showed that the increase in CTGF expression in cardiac tissues of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats was reversed by captopril...
