S100A1 protein and heart failure / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

S100A,a Ca2+-depending inotropic factor in the heart,is found decreased during hear failure. Increase of S100A1 protein expression can improve cardiac function by regulating Ca2+ transportation, inhibiting left ventricular remodeling, decreasing apoptosis,and restoring energy supply of failing heart. Therefore,recovery of S100A1 protein expression in the failing heart is an effective strategy for treatment of heart failure.
