cardiovascular system
• slightly
• following induced myocardial infarct, mice exhibit less of an increase in the number of fibroblasts in the left ventricle compared to in wild-type mice
• following induced myocardial infarct, mice exhibit an increase in death during the first 10 days and a 2-fold increase in the rate of ventricular wall rupture but reduced fibrosis and overall size of scaring compared to similarly treated wild-type mice
• however, mice maintain better cardiac function compared to wild-type mice over the 8 weeks following the initial scar formation

• however, mice maintain better cardiac function compared to wild-type mice over the 8 weeks following the initial scar formation
• following transverse aortic constriction to induce pressure overload, mice exhibit less cardiac hypertrophy with reduced myocyte cross-section diameter and increased ventricular function after 8 weeks compared to similarly treated wild-type mice
• however, initial response during the first 2 weeks after pressure overload is normal

cellular
• isolated fibroblasts exhibit reduced adhesion to neonatal cardiomyocytes compared to wild-type fibroblasts

• cyclosporine A-treated mice exhibit reduced myocardial fibrosis than in similarly treated Myh6tm1Jse homozygotes
• cyclosporine A-treated mice exhibit a 2.4-fold reduction in non-myocyte cell proliferation compared with similarly treated Myh6tm1Jse homozygotes but remains higher than in similarly treated wild-type mice

• cyclosporine A-treated mice exhibit a modest, but not significantly, reduction in maximal left ventricular wall thickness compared with similarly treated Myh6tm1Jse homozygotes
