Pim-1 regulates cardiomyocyte survival downstream of Akt

TL;DR: Cardioprotective stimuli associated with Akt activation induced Pim-1 expression, but compensatory increases in Akt abundance and phosphorylation after pathological injury by infarction or pressure overload did not protect the myocardium in Pim–deficient mice, suggesting that PIM-1 is a crucial facet of cardioprotection downstream of Akt.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nuclear Targeting of Akt Enhances Kinase Activity and Survival of Cardiomyocytes

TL;DR: Experiments show that targeting of Akt to the nucleus mediates inhibition of apoptosis without hypertrophic remodeling, opening new possibilities for therapeutic applications of nuclear-targeted AkT to inhibit cell death associated with heart disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intracoronary Delivery of Autologous Cardiac Stem Cells Improves Cardiac Function in a Porcine Model of Chronic Ischemic Cardiomyopathy

TL;DR: The results mimic those recently reported in humans (Stem Cell Infusion in Patients with Ischemic CardiOmyopathy [SCIPIO] trial) and establish this porcine model of ischemic cardiomyopathy as a useful and clinically relevant model for studying CSCs.
