摘要:
Isolated CT-1, isolated DNA encoding CT-1, and recombinant or synthetic methods of preparing CT-1 are disclosed. CT-1 is shown to bind to and activate the receptor, LIFRβ. These CT-1 molecules are shown to influence hypertrophic activity, neurological activity, and other activities associated with receptor LIFRβ. Accordingly, these compounds or their antagonists may be used for treatment of heart failure, arrhythmic disorders, inotropic disorders, neurological disorders, and other disorders associated with the LIFRβ.
摘要:
Isolated CHF, isolated DNA encoding CHF, and recombinant or synthetic methods of preparing CHF are disclosed. These CHF molecules are shown to influence hypertrophic activity and neurological activity. Accordingly, these compounds or their antagonists may be used for treatment of heart failure, arrhythmic disorders, inotropic disorders, and neurological disorders.

摘要:
The invention relates to promoter sequences derived from a portion upstream of the coding sequence of the gene for the CARP protein (Cardiac Ankyrin Repeat Protein), and which are capable of controlling the level and the specificity of expression of a transgene in vivo in cardiac muscle cells. The invention thus describes compositions, constructs, vectors and their uses in vivo for the transfer and expression of a nucleic acid in vivo in cardiac muscle cells. The subject of the present invention is also the use of the promoter sequences for generating transgenic animals which constitute models for studying certain cardiac pathologies.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for the treatment of heart failure through the use of small peptide complexes and recombinant proteins which function to enhance contractility in failing hearts and reduce blood pressure in individuals with hypertension by inhibiting the interaction between phospholamban and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2a) within cardiomyocytes. In addition, a means is provided for the transport of such therapeutic agents into the cytoplasm and nucleus of cardiomyocytes.
