Involvement of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress–Mediated C/EBP Homologous Protein Activation in Coxsackievirus B3–Induced Acute Viral Myocarditis
19 May 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study tested the hypothesis whether endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress/C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) signaling is linked with coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-induced acute viral myocarditis (AVMC) in vivo. METHODS AND RESULTS: AVMC was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 1000 tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) of CVB3 virus in mice. In AVMC mouse hearts (n=11), ER stress and CHOP were...
