Abstract

Myocardial apoptosis plays an important role in doxorubicin (Dox) cardiotoxicity. MicroRNA-29 (miR-29) is suggested to function as an anti-fibrotic factor with potential therapeutic effects on cardiac fibrosis. However, it has not been shown whether there is an association between miR-29b and myocardial apoptosis. Male Wistar rats were transfected with miR-29b agomir by local delivery to the myocardium prior to Dox treatment. Rat cardiomyocytes were pretreated with miR-29b mimics or inhibitor followed by Dox incubation in vitro. Cardiac function and underlying mechanisms were evaluated by echocardiography, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, real-time PCR, and western blotting. Our results revealed that miR-29b is the only member of the miR-29 family that was significantly downregulated in myocardium from Dox-treated rats. Delivery of miR-29b agomir to myocardium resulted in a marked improvement of cardiac function. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling staining showed that rescue of miR-29b expression inhibited Dox-induced myocardial apoptosis, concomitantly with increased Bcl-2 expression and decreased Bax expression and caspase-3 activity. In vitro, miR-29b overexpression mitigated, whereas inhibition ...Continue Reading

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Cardiotoxicity

Cardiotoxicity refers to the muscle damage or dysfunction of heart electrophysiology caused by drug intake or due to disease complications. It is a well-known side effect of several cytotoxic drugs, especially of the anthracyclines and can lead to long term morbidity. Here is the latest research.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Cardiovascular Homeostasis

Cardiovascular regulation and homeostasis is important in maintaining health and dysfunction may lead to cardiovascular diseases. Nitric oxide and vascular endothelium are one of many molecules involved in the homeostatic mechanism. Here is the latest research on cardiovascular homeostasis.
