| Abstract | Mechanisms responsible for HIV cardiomyopathy are unknown, but may include direct effects of HIV proteins on the heart. Transgenic mice (TG) expressing HIV Tat protein targeted to the myocardium, +/− Tat TG, have revealed anatomical and biochemical defects in the heart. The present studies were conducted to clarify the effect of Tat on cardiac function. In vivo hemodynamics was measured in awake mice after inserting a catheter tip in the left ventricle under general anesthesia. Under the age of 3 months, the heart rate (HR) was significantly lower in TG (591 ± 47 vs. 716 ± 45 bpm, TG versus FVB control (FVB), respectively (P < 0.05; n = 8–12). Other hemodynamic indexes, including left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), positive and negative dp/dt (mmHg/s), and left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) remained indistinguishable from FVB. At 6 months, however, ventricular dysfunction was evident in TG (HR = 580 ± 47 vs. 673 ± 25 bpm, TG versus FVB, P < 0.05); LVSP (132 ± 6 vs. 147 ± 6 mmHg, TG versus FVB; P < 0.05); LVEDP (15 ± 4 vs. 8 ± 6 mmHg, TG vs. FVB, P < 0.05); +dp/dt = 8872 ± 331 vs. 10026 ± 796 mmHg/s TG versus FVB, P < 0.01) and −dp/dt (7403 ± 432 vs. 8835 ± 368 mmHg/s, TG versus FVB, P < 0.01; n = 8–12, in each group). The change in percentage of fractional shortening in response to isoproterenol was also significantly reduced in cardiac myocytes isolated from TG versus FVB (P < 0.05). Thus, targeted myocardial transgenic expression of HIV Tat in mice results in relative bradycardia, depression in systolic and diastolic functions in vivo, and blunted adrenergic responsiveness in vitro. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
