Key result
Mechanical stress induces cardiac hypertrophy via cardiomyocyte stretching and vasoactive peptide secretion, while the homeobox gene Csx is essential for normal heart development and morphogenesis.
Population
In-vitro and in-vivo preclinical models including neonatal rat cardiac myocytes, transgenic mice, and P19CL6…

In-vitro and in-vivo preclinical models including neonatal rat cardiac myocytes, transgenic mice, and P19CL6 teratocarcinoma cells
This review highlights the molecular signaling pathways converting mechanical stress into cardiac hypertrophy and the genetic networks, including Csx/Nkx-2.5, governing cardiac development.
Cite This Study
Issei Komuro (2001) conducted a review in Cardiac hypertrophy and congenital heart disease. Mechanical stress induces cardiac hypertrophy via cardiomyocyte stretching and vasoactive peptide secretion, while the homeobox gene Csx is essential for normal heart development and morphogenesis.
