Regulator of G protein signaling 5 protects against cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis during biomechanical stress of pressure overload
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The development of cardiac hypertrophy in response to increased hemodynamic load and neurohormonal stress is initially a compensatory response that may eventually lead to ventricular dilation and heart failure. Regulator of G protein signaling 5 (Rgs5) is a negative regulator of G protein-mediated signaling by inactivating Galphaq and Galphai, which mediate actions of most known vasoconstrictors. Previous studies have demonstrated that Rgs5 expresses among various cell types within mature heart and showed high levels of Rgs5 mRNA in monkey and human heart tissue by Northern blot analysis. However, the critical role of Rgs5 on cardiac remodeling remains unclear. To specifically determine the role of Rgs5 in pathological cardiac remodeling, we used transgenic mice with cardiac-specific overexpression of human Rgs5 gene and Rgs5-/- mice. Our results demonstrated that the transgenic mice were resistant to cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis through inhibition of MEK-ERK1/2 signaling, whereas the Rgs5-/- mice displayed the opposite phenotype in response to pressure overload. These studies indicate that Rgs5 protein is a crucial component of the signaling pathway involved in cardiac remodeling and heart failure.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
