Deskripsi

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress promotes cardiac dysfunction. Here the authors uncover a pathway whereby AGGF1 blocks ER stress by inhibiting ERK1/2 activation and the transcriptional repressor ZEB1, leading to induction of miR-183-5p and down-regulation of CHOP, and show that AGGF1 can effectively treat cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure.
