Inhibition of Mammalian Target of Rapamycin With Rapamycin Reverses Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in Mice With Cardiomyocyte-Specific Knockout of PTEN
21 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
The role of phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted from chromosome 10 (PTEN) in the maintenance of cardiac homeostasis still remains controversial. This study was designed to evaluate the role of cardiomyocyte-specific PTEN in the maintenance of cardiac homeostasis and the underlying mechanisms involved with a focus on autophagy, an evolutionarily conserved pathway for protein degradation. Cardiomyocyte-specific...
