ABSTRACT:
The molecular mechanisms underlying heart failure remain poorly understood. As such, identifying the factors which effectively maintain cardiac tissue homeostasis is of great scientific and clinical importances. The tumor suppressor Trp53 (p53) inhibits cell growth after acute stress by regulating gene transcription. The mammalian genome contains hundreds of p53 binding sites. However, whether p53 participates in the regulation of cardiac tissue homeostasis under normal conditions is not known. To examine the physiologic consequences of p53 and Mdm2 ablation in adult cardiomyocytes in vivo, cardiac morphology and function were assessed in conditional mutant mice.
