Biochem/physiol Actions

MEF2C (myocyte enhancer factor 2C) is a cardiac and smooth muscle-specific transcription factor. It positively regulates the transcriptional activation induced by myocardin. Thus, it coordinates the smooth muscle cell differentiation. MEF2C is associated with nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) and upregulation of the gene is observed in mitral regurgitation. In retina, the MEF2C regulates the expression of photoreceptor gene.

The etiology of mental retardation remains elusive in the majority of cases. Microdeletions within chromosomal bands 5q14.3q15 were recently identified as a recurrent cause of severe mental retardation, epilepsy, muscular hypotonia, and variable minor anomalies. By molecular karyotyping we identified

Vascular hyperproliferative disorders are characterized by excessive smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation leading to vessel remodeling and occlusion. In pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), SMC phenotype switching from a terminally differentiated contractile to synthetic state is gaining traction as our understanding

Left atrial enlargement in mitral regurgitation (MR) predicts a poor prognosis. The regulatory mechanisms of atrial myocyte hypertrophy of MR patients remain unknown. This study comprised 14 patients with MR, 7 patients with aortic valve disease (AVD), and 6 purchased
Mutations in MEF2C from the 5q14.3q15 microdeletion syndrome region are a frequent cause of severe mental retardation and diminish MECP2 and CDKL5 expression.
