Abstract
Using serial analysis of myocardial gene expression employing endomyocardial biopsy starting material in a dilated cardiomyopathy cohort, we show that mRNA expression of the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) cardiac myocyte receptor ACE2 is up-regulated with remodeling and with reverse remodeling down-regulates into the normal range. The proteases responsible for virus-cell membrane fusion were expressed but not regulated with remodeling. In addition, a new candidate for SARS-CoV-2 cell binding and entry was identified, the integrin encoded by ITGA5. Up-regulation in ACE2 in remodeled left ventricles may explain worse outcomes in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 who have underlying myocardial disorders, and counteracting ACE2 up-regulation is a possible therapeutic approach to minimizing cardiac damage.

Abstract
Cardiac fibrosis refers to an excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) in cardiac tissue. Fibrotic tissue is stiffer and less compliant, resulting in subsequent cardiac dysfunction and heart failure. Cardiac fibrosis in the ageing heart may involve activation of fibrogenic signalling and inhibition of anti-fibrotic signalling, leading to an imbalance of ECM turnover. Excessive accumulation of ECM such as collagen in older patients contributes to progressive ventricular dysfunction. Overexpression of collagen is derived from various sources, including higher levels of fibrogenic growth factors, proliferation of fibroblasts and cellular transdifferentiation. These may be triggered by factors, such as oxidative stress, inflammation, hypertension, cellular senescence and cell death, contributing to age-related fibrotic cardiac remodelling. In this review, we will discuss the fibrogenic contributors in age-related cardiac fibrosis, and the potential mechanisms by which fibrogenic processes can be interrupted for therapeutic intent.
