Haploinsufficiency of Target of Rapamycin Attenuates Cardiomyopathies in Adult Zebrafish
15 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Although a cardioprotective function of target of rapamycin (TOR) signaling inhibition has been suggested by pharmacological studies using rapamycin, genetic evidences are still lacking. We explored adult zebrafish as a novel vertebrate model for dissecting signaling pathways in cardiomyopathy. OBJECTIVE: We generated the second adult zebrafish cardiomyopathy model induced by doxorubicin. By...
