Disease relevance of Ctf1

  • The treatment with adenovirus encoding CNTF, CT1 or IGF1, however, failed to protect these neurons after avulsion [1].
  • Moreover, we also investigated, for the first time whether CT-1 and urocortin can induce hypertrophy in cultured adult as opposed to neonatal cardiac cells [2].
  • Although tetanus toxin accumulated rapidly (within 8 h) at presynaptic sites, GDNF accumulated at synapses more slowly (within 15 h), and CT-1 never associated with synapses [3].
  • These findings suggest that IL-6 and LIF, but not CT-1, contribute to angiotensin II-dependent left ventricular hypertrophy in the two hypertensive rat models, TGR(mRen2)27 and SHR [4].
  • We suggest that CT-1 might facilitate LVH in genetic hypertension through a cross-talk with the renin-angiotensin system [5].
 

High impact information on Ctf1

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Ctf1

 

Biological context of Ctf1

  • CT-1 is released from the heart in response to hypoxic stress, and it protects cardiac myocytes from hypoxia-induced apoptosis, thus establishing a central role for this cytokine in the cardiac stress response [11].
  • Together, the inhibitors completely blocked CT-1-dependent NF-kappa B activation and cytoprotection [11].
  • CT-1 also induced the degradation of the NF-kappa B cytosolic anchor, I kappa B, as well as the translocation of the p65 subunit of NF-kappa B to the nucleus and increased expression of an NF-kappa B-dependent reporter gene [11].
  • Overexpression of dominant-negative STAT3 mutant suppressed CT-1-induced STAT3 phosphorylation, but did not affect cell hypertrophy [12].
  • These findings reveal a specific cell-broadening effect of CT-1 in cardiomyocytes from adult SHR and suggest that the hypertensive phenotype of these cells may influence the hypertrophic effects of CT-1, probably by means of an exaggerated induction of angiotensinogen expression [5].

Associations of Ctf1 with chemical compounds

 

Regulatory relationships of Ctf1

  • These results identify urocortin as a novel hypertrophic and protective agent whose hypertrophic effect is mediated by a distinct pathway to that activated by CT-1, although the two factors mediate protection via the same pathway [2].
  • In the present study, CT-1 activated p38 and ERK MAPKs as well as Akt in cultured cardiac myocytes; these three pathways were activated in a parallel manner [11].
  • CT-1 also induced phosphorylations of ERK1/2 and ERK5 in cardiomyocytes, and those, too, were suppressed by overexpression of SOCSs [12].
  • In that regard, cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) activates several signaling pathways via gp130, and induces hypertrophy in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes [12].
  • BACKGROUND: Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) is a negative regulator of cytokine signaling whose expression is induced in the rat heart by cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) [18].
 

Other interactions of Ctf1

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Ctf1

  • The protein levels of IL-6, LIF and CT-1 were investigated by western blot [4].
  • Following 48 h of experimental procedures, the expression of all these four molecular markers of plasticity was reduced in SD and CT1 groups compared to the CT2 and cage control groups [19].
  • In vivo, CT-1 protected neonatal sciatic motoneurons against the effects of axotomy [20].
  • Only CT-1 mRNA expression could be detected by Northern blot, and it increased after pressure overload [21].
  • In this work we determine the activity of CT-1 in six in vitro biological assays and examine the composition of its cell surface receptor [22].
