"Cardiac hypertrophy and dilation are mediated by neuro-endocrine factors and/or mitogens as well as through internal stretch- and stress-sensitive signaling pathways, which in turn transduce alterations in cardiac gene expression through specific signaling pathways. The transcription factor family known as myocyte enhancer factor 2(MEF2) has been implicated as a signal-responsive mediator of the cardiac transcriptional program. For example, known hypertrophic signaling pathways that utilize calcineurin, calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, and MAPKs can each affect MEF2...
