Transcription profiling of right ventricule from arrhythmogenic heterozygous plakoglobin deficient mice undergone endurance training to identify transcriptional responses to training.

ABSTRACT: Endurance training accelerated development of right ventricular dysfunction and arrhythmias in plakoglobin+/- mice. Histology and electron microscopy did not identify right ventricular abnormalities. To identify differences in the transcriptional response to training gene expression profiling was performed. Experiment Overall Design: Gene expressson analyses were performed in 5 pairs of plakoglobin (+/-) mice and their wildtype littermates. Four pairs of trained mice and one pair of old untrained mice were studied. Training induced expression of several hypertrophy associated genes such as ANP but no differences between the trained plakoglobin (+/-) mice and wt mice was seen.
