Abstract
Hypoxia is a fetal stressor that leads to the production of endothelin-1 (ET-1). Previous work has shown that ET-1 treatment leads to the premature terminal differentiation of fetal cardiomyocytes. However, the precise mechanism is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that the fetal cardiomyocyte proteome will be greatly altered due to ET-1-treatment, which reveals a potential molecular mechanism of ET-1-induced terminal differentiation. Over a thousand proteins were detected in the fetal cardiomyocytes and among them 75 proteins were significantly altered due to ET-1 treatment. Using IPA pathway analysis, the merged network depicted several key proteins that appeared to be involved in regulating proliferation, including: EED, UBC, ERK1/2, MAPK, Akt, and EGFR. EED protein, which is associated with regulating proliferation via epigenetic mechanisms, is of particular interest. Herein we propose a model of the molecular mechanism by which ET-1 induced cardiomyocyte terminal differentiation occurs.

From Biodiversity to Chemical Diversity: Focus of Flavonoids
Flavonoids are the largest group of polyphenols, plant secondary metabolites arising from the essential aromatic amino acid phenylalanine (or more rarely from tyrosine) via the phenylpropanoid pathway. The flavan nucleus is the basic 15-carbon skeleton of flavonoids (C6-C3-C6), which consists of two phenyl rings (A and B) and a heterocyclic ...read more
