Abstract excerpt
A homeobox-containing transcription factor Csx/Nkx2-5 is an important regulator of cardiac development. Many different human CSX/NKX2-5 mutations have been reported to cause congenital heart disease. We here examined the effects of three representative CSX/NKX2-5 mutations on cardiomyocyte differentiation and death with the use of the P19CL6 cardiomyogenic cell lines. Stable overexpression of wild-type CSX/NKX2-5...
