During myocardial ischemia upregulation of the hedgehog (Hh) pathway stimulates neovascularization

During myocardial ischemia upregulation of the hedgehog (Hh) pathway stimulates neovascularization and raises AUY922 cardiomyocyte survival. to a Smo inhibitor recognized a small subset of 37 cardiomyocyte-specific genes controlled by Shh including some in the PKA and purinergic signaling pathways. In addition neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes infected with an adenovirus encoding GiCT a peptide that… Continue reading During myocardial ischemia upregulation of the hedgehog (Hh) pathway stimulates neovascularization
