    CRISPR-mediated generation and characterization of a Gaa homozygous c.1935C>A (p.D645E) Pompe disease knock-in mouse model recapitulating human infantile onset-Pompe disease

    Pompe disease, an autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficient lysosomal acid α-glucosidase (GAA), is characterized by accumulation of intra-lysosomal glycogen in skeletal and oftentimes cardiac muscle. Th...

    CRISPR-Cas9 generated Pompe knock-in murine model exhibits early-onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and skeletal muscle weakness

    Infantile-onset Pompe Disease (IOPD), caused by mutations in lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase (Gaa), manifests rapidly progressive fatal cardiac and skeletal myopathy incompletely attenuated by synthetic GAA intr...

    Aortic pathology from protein kinase G activation is prevented by an antioxidant vitamin B12 analog

    People heterozygous for an activating mutation in protein kinase G1 (PRKG1, p.Arg177Gln) develop thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections (TAAD) as young adults. Here we report that mice heterozygous for the mut...

    Combinatorial interactions of genetic variants in human cardiomyopathy

    Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide; yet how genetic variation and environmental factors impact DCM heritability remains unclear. Here, we report that compound ...

    MLP and CARP are linked to chronic PKCα signalling in dilated cardiomyopathy

    MLP (muscle LIM protein)-deficient mice count among the first mouse models for dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), yet the exact role of MLP in cardiac signalling processes is still enigmatic. Elevated PKCα signalli...

    MicroRNA-133 controls cardiac hypertrophy

    Growing evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are involved in basic cell functions and oncogenesis. Here we report that miR-133 has a critical role in determining cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. We observ...

    SGK1-dependent cardiac CTGF formation and fibrosis following DOCA treatment

    The mineralocorticoids aldosterone and deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) stimulate renal tubular salt reabsorption, increase salt appetite, induce extracellular volume expansion, and elevate blood pressure. C...
