MAPK convergence by ET-1/aFGF may contribute to myocyte hypertrophy; leaves open causal role in vivo and clinical relevance.
Dissimilar signaling pathways activated by ET-1 and aFGF converge at the MAPKK/MAPK cascade, which may play a role in cardiac myocyte hypertrophy.
Bogoyevitch et al. (1994) studied this question.
