Abcc6 Deficiency Causes Increased Infarct Size and Apoptosis in a Mouse Cardiac Ischemia-Reperfusion Model
7 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: ABCC6 genetic deficiency underlies pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) in humans, characterized by ectopic calcification, and early cardiac disease. The spectrum of PXE has been noted in Abcc6-deficient mice, including dystrophic cardiac calcification. We tested the role of Abcc6 in response to cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. METHODS AND RESULTS: To determine the role of Abcc6 in...
