Does pressure overload induce different phenotypic and molecular adaptations compared to volume overload in mouse models of cardiac hypertrophy?
Pressure and volume overload induce distinct phenotypic and molecular adaptations in cardiac hypertrophy, highlighting the need for stimulus-specific approaches in mechanistic studies.
-related signaling pathways were markedly activated in TAC but mildly upregulated or unchanged in AR. Pressure overload and volume overload induce different phenotypic and molecular adaptations in cardiac hypertrophy. Most load-related signaling pathways assessed in this study predominate in pressure but not volume overload. The stimulus-specific heterogeneity in the signaling pathways requires distinct manipulations for further mechanistic and pharmacological studies. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Using the transverse aortic constriction mouse model and the newly developed aortic regurgitation mouse model, we delineated the prominent differences between concentric and eccentric cardiac hypertrophy on morphological, functional, and molecular levels. Our findings are important for the precise diagnosis and treatment of these two types of cardiac hypertrophy.
