Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are a significant global health challenge and pervasive cause of mortality worldwide. Heart failure due to cardiovascular disease is characterized by the inability of the heart to pump blood efficiently to meet the metabolic demands of the body. The pathophysiology of heart failure involves myocardial remodeling due to excessive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins by cardiac myofibroblasts - structural changes which impair contractility, reduce compliance, and ultimately reduce stroke volume. Now, a recent report has uncovered an essential role for Iroquois homeobox 2 in the transcriptional regulation of cardiac fibrosis, illuminating new mechanistic insights that can be applied to developing future clinical therapies.

让我跳动的心脏慢下来:Iroquois homeobox 2诱导心脏纤维化。
心血管疾病是一项重大的全球健康挑战,也是全球普遍的死亡原因。心血管疾病导致的心力衰竭表现为心脏无法有效泵血以满足机体的代谢需求。心力衰竭的病理生理学涉及心肌成纤维细胞过度沉积细胞外基质蛋白导致的心肌重塑--结构变化会损害收缩力、降低顺应性并最终减少每搏量。最近的一份报告揭示了易洛魁同工酶 2 在心脏纤维化转录调控中的重要作用,阐明了可用于开发未来临床疗法的新机理。

期刊介绍: Tissue Barriers is the first international interdisciplinary journal that focuses on the architecture, biological roles and regulation of tissue barriers and intercellular junctions. We publish high quality peer-reviewed articles that cover a wide range of topics including structure and functions of the diverse and complex tissue barriers that occur across tissue and cell types, including the molecular composition and dynamics of polarized cell junctions and cell-cell interactions during normal homeostasis, injury and disease state. Tissue barrier formation in regenerative medicine and restoration of tissue and organ function is also of interest. Tissue Barriers publishes several categories of articles including: Original Research Papers, Short Communications, Technical Papers, Reviews, Perspectives and Commentaries, Hypothesis and Meeting Reports. Reviews and Perspectives/Commentaries will typically be invited. We also anticipate to publish special issues that are devoted to rapidly developing or controversial areas of research. Suggestions for topics are welcome. Tissue Barriers objectives: Promote interdisciplinary awareness and collaboration between researchers working with epithelial, epidermal and endothelial barriers and to build a broad and cohesive worldwide community of scientists interesting in this exciting field. Comprehend the enormous complexity of tissue barriers and map cross-talks and interactions between their different cellular and non-cellular components. Highlight the roles of tissue barrier dysfunctions in human diseases. Promote understanding and strategies for restoration of tissue barrier formation and function in regenerative medicine. Accelerate a search for pharmacological enhancers of tissue barriers as potential therapeutic agents. Understand and optimize drug delivery across epithelial and endothelial barriers.
