Loss of Secreted Frizzled-Related Protein-1 Leads to Deterioration of Cardiac Function in Mice and Plays a Role in Human Cardiomyopathy
11 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays a central role during cardiac development and has been implicated in cardiac remodeling and aging. However, the role of Wnt modulators in this process is unknown. In this study, we examined the role of the Wnt signaling inhibitor secreted frizzled-related protein-1 (sFRP-1) in aged wild-type and sFRP-1-deficient mice. METHODS AND RESULTS: sFRP-1 gene deletion...
