Deficiency of diacylglycerol Kinase ζ promotes Beclin1-mediated autophagy via the mTOR/TFEB signaling pathway: Relevance to maladaptive cardiac hypertrophy

Abstract excerpt

The activation Gq protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is a crucial factor contributing to maladaptive cardiac hypertrophy, and dysregulation of autophagy is implicated in its prohypertrophic effects. Previous studies have shown that diacylglycerol kinase zeta (DGKζ) can suppress cardiac hypertrophy by inhibiting the diacylglycerol (DAG)-PKC pathway in response to mechanical strain or growth agonists such as...
