Abstract excerpt
Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) protect the heart from chemotherapeutics-induced heart failure by inhibiting p53-dependent apoptosis. However, mechanism of such protection has not been elucidated yet. Here we test a hypothesis that serine phosphorylation of sHsps is essential to inhibit the doxorubicin-induced and p53-dependent apoptotic pathway. Three transgenic mice (TG) lines with cardiomyocyte-specific...
