Does deletion of IGF-1 receptors in cardiomyocytes attenuate cardiac aging and remodeling in male mice?
The IGF-1-IGF-1R-Akt pathway plays an essential role in mediating cardiomyocyte senescence, and its deletion attenuates age-related cardiac remodeling.
Ock et al. (2015) studied Cardiac aging. Cardiomyocyte-specific IGF-1R deletion vs. Wild-type was evaluated on Cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and proinflammatory cytokine expression. Cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of the IGF-1 receptor in male mice attenuated age-associated cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and proinflammatory cytokine expression.
