Activating Transcription Factor 3 Deficiency Promotes Cardiac Hypertrophy, Dysfunction, and Fibrosis Induced by Pressure Overload
28 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
Activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3), which is encoded by an adaptive-response gene induced by various stimuli, plays an important role in the cardiovascular system. However, the effect of ATF3 on cardiac hypertrophy induced by a pathological stimulus has not been determined. Here, we investigated the effects of ATF3 deficiency on cardiac hypertrophy using in vitro and in vivo models. Aortic banding (AB) was...
