GRK2ct | GRK2 inhibitor GRK2ct corresponding to the carboxyl-terminal 194 amino acids of GRK2 is expressed in failing cardiac fibroblasts using an adenoviral-mediated approach driven by the CMV promoter. Inhibition restores beta-agonist stimulated inhibition of collagen synthesis and decreases collagen synthesis in response to TGF beta stimulation | Homo sapiens |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
malfunction | overexpression of GRK2 in normal cardiac fibroblasts recapitulates a heart failure phenotype with minimal inhibition of collagen synthesis following beta-agonist stimulation. Knockdown of GRK2 expression in normal cardiac fibroblasts enhances cAMP production and leads to greater beta-agonist-mediated inhibition of basal and TGF beta-stimulated collagen synthesis versus control. Inhibition of GRK2 activity in failing cardiac fibroblasts by expression of the GRK2 inhibitor, GRK2ct, or siRNA-mediated knockdown restores beta-agonist stimulated inhibition of collagen synthesis and decreases collagen synthesis in response to TGF beta stimulation | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | GRK2 plays a significant role in regulating collagen synthesis in adult human cardiac fibroblasts | Homo sapiens |
