Obesity rates are rapidly increasing worldwide and facilitate the development of many related disease states, such as cardiovascular disease, the metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and… Expand
Transactivation of the insulin-like growth factor-I receptor by angiotensin II mediates downstream signaling from the angiotensin II type 1 receptor to phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase.
- P. Zahradka, Brenda Litchie, B. Storie, Gail Helwer
- Biology, Medicine
- Endocrinology
- 1 June 2004
Angiotensin II (AngII) activates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase), a known effector of receptor tyrosine kinases. Treatment of smooth muscle cells with AngII has also been shown to promote… Expand
Adipokines and the cardiovascular system: mechanisms mediating health and disease.
- Josette M. Northcott, A. Yeganeh, C. Taylor, P. Zahradka, J. Wigle
- Biology, Medicine
- Canadian journal of physiology and pharmacology

This review focuses on the role of adipokines in the maintenance of a healthy cardiovascular system, and the mechanisms by which these factors mediate the development of cardiovascular disease in… Expand
Angiotensin II activates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase in vascular smooth muscle cells.
- L. Saward, P. Zahradka
- Biology, Medicine
- Circulation research
- 1 August 1997
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) is an important component of the signal transduction systems activated by tyrosine kinase receptors. It has not been established, however, whether PI3K is also an… Expand

- Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry
- 1 December 2003
Cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1), a member of the IL-6 family of cytokines, has been shown to be elevated in the serum of patients with ischemic heart disease and valvular heart disease, and induces… Expand
A Shuttle Mechanism for DNA‐Protein Interactions
- P. Zahradka, K. Ebisuzaki
- Biology
- 3 March 2005
Previously it had been shown that poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase requires DNA for its activity and that this enzyme is auto-poly(ADP-ribosyl)ated. The studies reported here indicate that this… Expand
Activation of MMP-2 in response to vascular injury is mediated by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent expression of MT1-MMP.
- P. Zahradka, Greg Harding, +4 authors N. Yurkova
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of physiology. Heart and…
- 1 December 2004
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) is required for smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation. This study reports that inhibitors of PI3K also prevent SMC migration and block neointimal hyperplasia in… Expand
