Transcription factor CHF1/Hey2 suppresses cardiac hypertrophy through an inhibitory interaction with GATA4
7 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
Pathological cardiac hypertrophy is considered a precursor to clinical heart failure. Understanding the transcriptional regulators that suppress the hypertrophic response may have profound implications for the treatment of heart disease. We report the generation of transgenic mice that overexpress the transcription factor CHF1/Hey2 in the myocardium. In response to the alpha-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine, they...
