    ability of exogenously administered S100A1 makes it an attractive therapeutic target in the treatment of Pulmonary hypertension (PMID: 25395393)
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • ATP synthase activity is reduced in cardiomyocytes from S100a1 knockout mice
  • mice deficient of both the S100a1 and S100b genes displayed normal skeletal growth from embryonic stage to adulthood
  • S100a1-knock-out mice (KO) exhibited increased right ventricular (RV) weight/body weight ratio and elevated RV pressure in the absence of altered left ventricular filling pressures, accompanied by increase in wall thickness of muscularized pulmonary arteries and a reduction in microvascular perfusion
