Abstract

Proteomic technologies revealed products of 2 genes (α-actin and albumin) in a human myocardium tissue. They exist as fragments and their appearance and increased content correlated with age. The age-related variants differ from the mature forms of these proteins by the absence of N-terminal fragments of the amino acid sequences. In the chronic ischemic heart disease (CIHD), these age-related proteins were found in 50% of cases (in the age group 31–40 years), whereas in the control group such combination was detected only in 10% of the examined individuals. Subsequent studies in this field would probably reveal molecular mechanisms responsible for impairment and/or ageing of the myocardium and also of adaptation/disadaptation mechanisms in the CIHD.
