摘要
Notch信号通路在脊椎动物和无脊椎动物中高度保守。它对正常心血管系统的发育有重要作用。心肌肥厚是许多疾病发展的一个重要阶段,但是它的形成机制到现在还没有完全清楚。扩张型心肌病是一组由于基因缺陷、心肌细胞损伤、心肌组织浸润使心脏肌肉层直接受累的疾病,其临床表现主要为心脏增大、心律失常,最终发生心力衰竭。最近的研究揭示Notch很可能在在这些疾病进程中起到非常关键的保护作用。
Notch signaling is a highly conserved pathway in vertebrates and invertebrates.It plays an important role in the development of the cardiovascular system.Cardiac hypertrophy is an important stage during the development of many diseases,but its mechanism has still not fully been understood.Dilated cardiomyopathy is a genetic defect due to myocardial cell damage,myocardial infiltration.Its clinical manifestations were cardiac enlargement,arrhythmias and heart failure in the long run.Recent studies reveal Notch is likely to play protective role in the process of these diseases.
