Abstract 4369579: Loss of G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase 2 S-Nitrosylation Abolishes Beta 3 Adrenergic Receptor-Mediated Cardioprotection Evidence from Functional and Proteomic Analyses
Conference Circulation · November 4, 2025 Background: G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase 2 (GRK2) contributes to cardiac dysfunction through β-Adrenoceptor (βAR) desensitization following its upregulation. Inhibition of GRK2 ha ... Full text CiteAbstract Fri171: MiRNA-181a-mediated Downregulation of GRK2 as a Potential Therapeutic Strategy for Heart Failure
Conference Circulation Research · August 2025 Background: G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is a key regulator of β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) signaling and a promising therapeutic target for heart failure (HF). Pathological upregulation ... Full text CiteAbstract NBT204: Mitochondrial GRK2 dependent regulation of myocardial cellular and transcriptional composition after ischemic injury
Conference Circulation Research · August 2025 Background: Myocardial infarction (MI), an obstruction of coronary blood flow and subsequent adverse remodeling leads to chronic heart failure (HF) thus, pathological remodeling post-MI remains a prev ... Full text CiteRecent Grants
