[0082] [Example 1] Expression of ZNF394 in the hearts of normal people and patients with cardiomyopathy

[0083]SDS-PAGE-immunoblotting test (Westernblot) was performed on proteins extracted from the hearts of normal human hearts (individuals donated by non-cardiac causes of death) and hearts of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (recipients replaced by patients undergoing heart transplantation, DCM). , combined with antibodies that specifically recognize ZNF394 protein and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy markers ANP (Millipore, AB2232) and β-MHC (santacruz, sc53090) to detect the expression of ZNF394 (AVIVA, ARP37322_P050), GAPDH (CellSignalingTechnology, 2128) Internal reference. Test results such as figure 1 As shown, the expression of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy markers ANP and β-MHC in the hearts of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy was significantly up-regulated, and the expression of ZNF394 was significantly down-regulated ( figure 1 );

Abstract

The invention discloses application of zinc finger protein 394 in protecting cardiac function, preventing cardiac fibrosis and / or preventing, relieving and / treating myocardial hypertrophy, and belongs to the field of gene applications. Determined are that in a model with myocardial hypertrophy, expression of the ZNF 394 is significantly reduced when compared to a normal group, that inhibition on ZNF 394 expression significantly promotes myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis and deteriorates cardiac function, and that promotion on ZNF 394 over-expression significantly inhibits myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis and protects cardiac function. The ZNF 394 may serve as a pharmaceutical target for screening pharmaceuticals used for protecting cardiac function, preventing cardiac fibrosis and / or preventing, relieving and / treating myocardial hypertrophy; the ZNF 394 may serve as a target gene in gene therapy and serve for the design and preparation of the pharmaceuticals / or biological regents used for protecting cardiac function, preventing cardiac fibrosis and / or preventing, relieving and / treating myocardial hypertrophy, and an effective novel way to treat myocardial hypertrophy is provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of gene function and application, and particularly relates to the function and application of a zinc finger protein 394 (ZNF394) in the treatment of cardiac hypertrophy, specifically the application in the preparation of drugs for preventing, alleviating and / or treating myocardial hypertrophy. Background technique [0002] Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a compensatory response of the myocardium to long-term biomechanical pressure or increased volume load. It is common in cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and aortic valve stenosis. Increased, extracellular matrix and other characteristics [1-3]. Hypertension and senile degenerative aortic valve disease are on the rise year by year in our country. Cardiac hypertrophy and the incidence of hypertension and heart disease caused by hypertension and other diseases also increase thereupon. Although myocardial hypertrophy can initially increase myocardial ce...
