Fibronectin (FN) is an extracellular matrix protein that binds to integrin receptors and couples cardiac myocytes to the basal lamina. Cardiac FN expression is elevated in models of pressure overload, and FN causes cultured cardiac myocytes to hypertrophy by a mechanism that has not been characterized in detail. In this study, we analyzed the gene expression changes induced by FN in purified rat neonatal ventricular myocytes using the Affymetrix RAE230A microarray, to understand how FN affects g ...[more]
