    Cardiac hypertrophy, a major cause of heart diseases such as myocardial infarction and cardiac arrhythmias, occurs when the heart is continuously exposed to increased load and\/or neurohormonal factors including endothelin-1. Hypertrophic stimuli activate both the ERK1\/2 and p38 MAP kinase pathways. Upon activation, p38mapk, p42mapk and p44mapk translocate to the nucleus and induce changes in the pattern of gene expression. A combination of in vivo and in vitro biochemical and pharmacological approaches are being employed to study the organization, specificity and roles of p42\/44 and p38 map kinase signalling and how these relate to changes in cardiac growth and function evoked by hypertrophic stimuli. In addition, the roles of the endothelin receptor subtypes ETA and ETB, located at the cell surface and on the nuclear membrane, are being examined. This information should further the understanding of both signal transduction in the healthy heart and the defects which impair the ability of the heart to function in a normal manner, thereby identifying suitable targets for pharmacological intervention in the treatment of heart diseases.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
