Studies from both in vivo and in vitro model systems have provided an initial skeleton of the potential signaling pathways that might regulate cardiac genes during growth and hypertrophy. One of the first detectable changes in cardiac gene expression is the activation of a program of immediate early gene expression, which is distinct for the hypertrophic response, and is conserved in multiple models of both in vivo and in vitro hypertrophy. Diverse and distinct hormonal stimuli have been…

The in vivo results lend further support to the notion that the products of early-response genes structurally or functionally related to c-fos may mediate the hypertrophic actions of norepinephrine and pressure overload, which may be associated with the proliferation of cardiac non-myocyte cells which occurs concomitant with cardiac hypertrophy.

It is found that phenylephrine treatment results in the activation of the MAP kinases and that this activity is required for transactivation of the fos, ANF, and MLH promoters, which suggests that the signal transduction pathways leading to different hypertrophic responses diverge upstream of theMAP kinases but possibly downstream of Ras.

Recently described mechanisms of inhibition of NF-κB activity and their application to animal models of cardiac hypertrophy are focused on and could be helpful for future studies that will be focused on the research of specific and non-toxic inhibitors of NLKB activity to regulate cardiachypertrophy and its evolution towards heart failure.

Results suggest that induction of cellular protooncogenes and heat shock (stress) protein genes is an early response to pressure overload, whereas reinduction of the genes normally expressed only in perinatal life, such as fetal isoforms of contractile proteins and atrial natriuretic factor, is a later event.
