TBX5 and CHD4 Coordinately Activate Atrial Cardiomyocyte Genes to Maintain Cardiac Rhythm Homeostasis
13 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation, the most common sustained arrhythmia, affects 59 million individuals worldwide. The transcription factor TBX5 (T-box 5) is essential for normal atrial rhythm. Its inactivation causes loss of atrial cardiomyocyte (aCM) enhancer accessibility, looping, transcriptional identity, and spontaneous atrial fibrillation. TBX5 interacts with CHD4 (chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein...
