CVI Research Description:
We study the coxsackieiviruses, a major cause of viral myocarditis, with a focus on the role of receptors in pathogenesis. The major coxsackievirus receptor,CAR is a component of specialized intercellular junctions, including the intercalated disc of mature cardiomyocytes. CAR mediates homophilic and heterophilic cell adhesion, and work with some tumor cell lines suggests that CAR may transmit growth-inhibitory signals. We recently found that cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of the murine CAR gene results in embryonic death, with hyperplasia of the left wall of the embryonic heart, and malformation of sinuatrial valves. The CAR-deficient myocardial cells express N-myc, a compact layer marker, but do not express trabecular markers, such as BMP10 and ANF. We would like to define how CAR functions during cardiac development; specifically, the mechanism by which CAR influences the
formation of the normal ventricular wall.
