Genetic variants at the 9p21 locus contribute to atherosclerosis through modulation of ANRIL and CDKN2A/B.
UNLABELLED Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genetic variants contributing to the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) at the chromosome 9p21 locus. The CVD-associated region is… Expand

Genome-wide association study of coronary artery disease in the Japanese
A new understanding of the genetic basis of coronary artery disease (CAD) has recently emerged from genome-wide association (GWA) studies of common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), thus far… Expand

Regulation of shortening velocity by calponin in intact contracting smooth muscles.
To elucidate the function of calponin in intact contracting smooth muscle cells in vivo, we generated mice with a mutated basic calponin (h1) locus (Yoshikawa et al., Genes Cells 3, 685-695, 1998).… Expand

Pravastatin Use and the Five-year Incidence of Cancer in Coronary Heart Disease Patients: from the Prevention of Coronary Sclerosis Study
BACKGROUND Although the short-term safety of statins is well established, their potential carcinogenicity in the long term is still being debated. The aim of this study was to investigate the… Expand

Therapeutic effect of taurine in congestive heart failure: A double‐blind crossover trial
In a double‐blind, randomized, crossover, placebo‐controlled study, we investigated the effects of adding taurine to the conventional treatment in 14 patients with congestive heart failure for a… Expand

Impact of cilostazol on restenosis after percutaneous coronary balloon angioplasty.
BACKGROUND Restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary (balloon) angioplasty (PTCA) remains a major drawback of the procedure. We previously reported that cilostazol, a platelet aggregation… Expand

Usefulness of taurine in chronic congestive heart failure and its prospective application.
We compared the effect of oral administration of taurine (3 g/day) and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) (30 mg/day) in 17 patients with congestive heart failure secondary to ischemic or idiopathic dilated… Expand

Reduction of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in mice by taurine.
The effect of taurine on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity was examined in mice. A single intraperitoneal injection of doxorubicin (15 mg/kg) produced a significant elevation of calcium and… Expand

Identification of the transcriptional regulatory sequences of human calponin promoter and their use in targeting a conditionally replicating herpes vector to malignant human soft tissue and bone…
The calponin (basic or h1) gene, normally expressed in maturated smooth muscle cells, is aberrantly expressed in a variety of human soft tissue and bone tumors. In this study, we show that expression… Expand
