摘 要:Objective:Cardiac hypertrophy is an adaptive reaction of the heart against cardiac overloading,but continuous cardiac hypertrophy can lead to cardiac remodeling and heart *** hypertrophy is mostly considered reversible,and recent studies have indicated that decorin not only prevents cardiac fibrosis associated with hypertension,but also achieves therapeutic effects by blocking fibrosis-related signaling ***,the mechanism of action of decorin remains unknown and ***:We determined the degree of myocardial hypertrophy by measuring the ratios of the heart weight/body weight and left ventricular weight/body weight,histological analysis and *** blotting was performed to detect the expression levels of CaMKⅡ,p-CaMKⅡ and MEF-2 in the ***:Our results confirmed that decorin can regulate the CaMKⅡ/MEF-2 signaling pathway,with inhibition thereof being similar to that of decorin in reducing cardiac ***:Taken together,the results of the present study showed that decorin induced cardiac hypertrophy by regulating the CaMKⅡ/MEF-2 signaling pathway in vivo,revealing a new therapeutic approach for the prevention of cardiac hypertrophy.
