Abstract excerpt
AIMS: A significant increase in congestive heart failure (CHF) was reported when the anti-ErbB2 antibody trastuzumab was used in combination with the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (Dox). The aim of the present study was to investigate the role(s) of miRNAs in acute Dox-induced cardiotoxicity. METHODS AND RESULTS: Neuregulin-1-ErbB signalling is essential for maintaining adult cardiac function. We found a...
