CHIP and Hsp70 regulate tau ubiquitination, degradation and aggregation
- L. Petrucelli, D. W. Dickson, +17 authors M. Hutton
- Biology
- 1 April 2004
Molecular chaperones, ubiquitin ligases and proteasome impairment have been implicated in several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, which are characterized by… Expand
Thyroid hormone action in the heart.
- G. Kahaly, W. Dillmann
- Biology, Medicine
- Endocrine reviews
- 1 August 2005
The heart is a major target organ for thyroid hormone action, and marked changes occur in cardiac function in patients with hypo- or hyperthyroidism. T(3)-induced changes in cardiac function can… Expand
Myofibroblasts revert to an inactive phenotype during regression of liver fibrosis
- T. Kisseleva, M. Cong, +11 authors D. Brenner
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 7 May 2012
Myofibroblasts produce the fibrous scar in hepatic fibrosis. In the carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) model of liver fibrosis, quiescent hepatic stellate cells (HSC) are activated to become myofibroblasts.… Expand
Overexpression of the rat inducible 70-kD heat stress protein in a transgenic mouse increases the resistance of the heart to ischemic injury.
- M. Marber, R. Mestril, S. Chi, M. R. Sayen, D. Yellon, W. Dillmann
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of clinical investigation
- 1 April 1995
Myocardial protection and changes in gene expression follow whole body heat stress. Circumstantial evidence suggests that an inducible 70-kD heat shock protein (hsp70i), increased markedly by whole… Expand
Overexpression of the rat sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase gene in the heart of transgenic mice accelerates calcium transients and cardiac relaxation.
- H. He, F. Giordano, +8 authors W. Dillmann
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of clinical investigation
- 15 July 1997
The Ca2+ ATPase of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SERCA2) plays a dominant role in lowering cytoplasmic calcium levels during cardiac relaxation and reduction of its activity has been linked to delayed… Expand
Decreased sarcoplasmic reticulum activity and contractility in diabetic db/db mouse heart.
- D. Belke, E. Swanson, W. Dillmann
- Medicine
- Diabetes
- 1 December 2004
Although it is known that insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes results in depressed contractile performance associated with diminished sarcoendoplasmic reticular Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA2a) activity,… Expand
Diabetes and the Accompanying Hyperglycemia Impairs Cardiomyocyte Calcium Cycling through Increased Nuclear O-GlcNAcylation*
- R. Clark, P. McDonough, +4 authors W. Dillmann
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 7 November 2003
Diabetic cardiomyopathy is characterized by impaired cardiac contractility leading to poor myocardial performance. We investigated the role that the hexosamine pathway, and especially altered nuclear… Expand
Cellular action of thyroid hormone on the heart.
- W. Dillmann
- Biology, Medicine
- Thyroid : official journal of the American…
- 1 June 2002
Changes in thyroid status markedly influence cardiac contractile and electrical activity. The predominant route by which triiodothyronine (T3) affects cardiac action is by exerting a direct effect in… Expand
Over-expression of inducible HSP70 chaperone suppresses neuropathology and improves motor function in SCA1 mice.
- C. J. Cummings, Y. Sun, +5 authors H. Zoghbi
- Biology, Medicine
- Human molecular genetics
- 1 July 2001
Many neurodegenerative diseases are caused by gain-of-function mechanisms in which the disease-causing protein is altered, becomes toxic to the cell, and aggregates. Among these 'proteinopathies' are… Expand
Adenovirus-Mediated Overexpression of O-GlcNAcase Improves Contractile Function in the Diabetic Heart
- Ying Hu, D. Belke, +4 authors W. Dillmann
- Medicine
- Circulation research
- 13 May 2005
To examine whether excessive protein O-GlcNAcylation plays a role in the dysfunction of the diabetic heart, we delivered adenovirus expressing O-GlcNAcase (Adv-GCA) into the myocardium of STZ-induced… Expand
