RNA Helicase DDX5 Maintains Cardiac Function by Regulating CamkIIδ Alternative Splicing

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. RNA-binding proteins are identified as regulators of cardiac disease; DDX5 (dead-box helicase 5) is a master regulator of many RNA processes, although its function in heart physiology remains unclear. METHODS: We assessed DDX5 expression in human failing hearts and a mouse HF model. To study the function of DDX5 in heart, we...
