G-protein Inactivator RGS6 Mediates Myocardial Cell Apoptosis and Cardiomyopathy Caused By Doxorubicin
21 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
Clinical use of the widely used chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin is limited by life-threatening cardiotoxicity. The mechanisms underlying doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy and heart failure remain unclear but are thought to involve p53-mediated myocardial cell apoptosis. The tripartite G-protein inactivating protein RGS6 has been implicated in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, ATM/p53 activation, and...
