Int J Mol Sci . 2021 Dec; 22(24). PMID: 34948382
Prior studies show that glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) contributes to cardiac ischemic injury and cardiac hypertrophy. GSK3β is constitutionally active and phosphorylation of GSK3β at serine 9 (S9) inactivates...

Paavola J, Alakoski T, Ulvila J, Kilpio T, Siren J, Perttunen S, et al.
EBioMedicine . 2020 Jan; 51:102608. PMID: 31911272
Background: Vascular endothelial zinc finger 1 (Vezf1) is a transcription factor previously shown to regulate vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. We aimed to investigate the role of Vezf1 in the postnatal heart....

Vainio L, Szabo Z, Lin R, Ulvila J, Yrjola R, Alakoski T, et al.
JACC Basic Transl Sci . 2019 Mar; 4(1):83-94. PMID: 30847422
Myocardial infarction (MI)-induced cardiac fibrosis attenuates cardiac contractile function, and predisposes to arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is elevated in affected organs in...

Mol Ther . 2019 Feb; 27(3):600-610. PMID: 30765322
Activin A and myostatin, members of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β superfamily of secreted factors, are potent negative regulators of muscle growth, but their contribution to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury...

Basic Res Cardiol . 2015 Nov; 111(1):2. PMID: 26611206
The G protein-coupled apelin receptor regulates important processes of the cardiovascular homeostasis, including cardiac development, cardiac contractility, and vascular tone. Most recently, a novel endogenous peptide ligand for the apelin...
