Differential Roles of the Tissue Inhibitors of Matrix Metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in Heart Failure
DownloadFall 2017
Considering the morbidity and mortality associated with heart failure, there is an increasing demand to develop new therapeutic alternatives for cardiac diseases. Advanced left ventricular remodeling following ischemic and pressure-overload cardiomyopathy causes changes in LV geometry, myocyte...

Differentiation of Primary Human Pro-Fibrotic Mesenchymal Cells Influenced by Extracellular Matrix Environment Determined by MicroRNA Expression
DownloadFall 2018
Fibrosis, a multi-faceted process that exacerbates numerous cardiovascular pathologies leading to heart failure, is the result of excessive extracellular matrix protein deposition. Although fibrosis is classically thought to be the result of myofibroblasts activated from interstitial...

DNA methylation patterns derived from fetal vulnerability to maternal smoking relate to future child outcomes
DownloadSpring 2021
Fetuses exposed to maternal smoking during pregnancy (MSP) are at higher risk of developing illnesses such as obesity, diabetes and heart, lung and mental health disease. These disorders are part of a group of non-fatal, non-communicable common complex diseases (CCDs) that form the greatest...

With matrix metalloproteinases-2 (MMP2) deficiency, we observed thoracic aortic aneurysm in 70% of MMP2-/- mice but no abdominal aortic aneurysm following four weeks of angiotensin II (Ang II) infusion. We found markedly suppressed recoil properties in the thoracic aorta of MMP2-/-- Ang II mice....

The pathological events initiating diabetic cardiac changes in response to chronic hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia remain unclear. Due to the high metabolic activity of the heart, and its sensitivity to acute changes in oxygen and substrate flux, mitochondrial dysfunction has been proposed as...

Effects of dietary and pharmacological interventions on pancreatic β-cell compensation in Nile rats: a model for spontaneous type 2 diabetes
DownloadFall 2019
Insulin-secreting pancreatic β-cells adapt to obesity-related insulin resistance via increases in insulin secretion and β-cell mass, which is referred to as β-cell compensation. Failed β-cell compensation predicts the onset of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the mechanisms underlying β-cell...
