Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to determine whether atrial expression of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases Erk1/Erk2 and of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is altered in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).Background Recent studies have demonstrated that atrial fibrosis can provide a pathophysiologic substrate for AF. However, the molecular mechanisms responsible for the development of atrial fibrosis are unclear.Methods Atrial tissue samples of 43 patients undergoing open heart surgery were examined. Seventeen patients had chronic persistent AF (> or =6 months; CAF), 8 patients had paroxysmal AF (PAF) and 18 patients had no history of AF. Erk expression was analyzed at the mRNA (quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction), the protein (immunoblot techniques) and atrial tissue (immunohistochemistry) levels. Erk-activating kinases (MEK1/2) and ACE were analyzed by immunoblot techniques.Results Increased amounts of Erk2-mRNA were found in patients with CAF (75 +/- 20 U vs. sinus rhythm: 31 +/- 25 U; p < 0.05). Activated Erk1/Erk2 and MEK1/2 were increased to more than 150% in patients with AF compared to patients with sinus rhythm. No differences between CAF and PAF were found. The expression of ACE was three-fold increased during CAF. Amounts of activated Erk1/Erk2 were reduced in patients treated with ACE inhibitors. Patients with AF showed an increased expression of Erk1/Erk2 in interstitial cells and marked atrial fibrosis.Conclusions An ACE-dependent increase in the amounts of activated Erk1/Erk2 in atrial interstitial cells may contribute as a molecular mechanism for the development of atrial fibrosis in patients with AF. These findings may have important impact on the treatment of AF.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
