Overview

Hypothesis-generating for Prox1 modulation in human conduction disease; requires validation beyond mouse models before any clinical consideration.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Mouse models including Nkx2.5(Cre/+); Prox1(loxP/+) animals, Nkx2.5(Cre/+) controls, and Prox1 heterozygous mice on a Cx40(EGFP) background
I
Intervention
Prox1 haploinsufficiency (Cre-mediated knock-down of Prox1)
C
Comparator
Nkx2.5(Cre/+) controls
O
Outcome
Hemodynamic parameters, anatomy of the atrioventricular node and His-Purkinje network, atrioventricular conduction, and excitation-contractionsurrogate

Prox1 recruits HDAC3 to directly repress Nkx2.5, and Prox1 haploinsufficiency rescues Nkx2.5-dependent adult cardiac conduction disease phenotypes in a mouse model.

Cite This Study

Risebro et al. (2012) studied Adult cardiac conduction disease. Prox1 haploinsufficiency vs. Nkx2.5(Cre/+) controls was evaluated on Rescue of hemodynamic parameters, anatomy, and atrioventricular conduction. Prox1 haploinsufficiency rescued Nkx2.5 conduction disease phenotypes, normalizing atrioventricular conduction and anatomy in a mouse model via a Prox1-HDAC3-Nkx2.5 signaling pathway.
