Abstract
Microtubules, complex cytoskeletal structures composed of tubulin proteins in eukaryotic cells, have garnered recent attention in cardiovascular research. Investigations have focused on the post-translational modifications of tubulin, including acetylation and detyrosination. Perturbations in microtubule homeostasis have been implicated in various pathological processes associated with cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure, ischemic heart disease, and arrhythmias. Thus, elucidating the intricate interplay between microtubule dynamics and cardiovascular pathophysiology is imperative for advancing preventive and therapeutic strategies. Several natural compounds have been identified to potentially modulate microtubules, thereby exerting regulatory effects on cardiovascular diseases. This review synthesizes current literature to delineate the roles of microtubules in cardiovascular diseases and assesses the potential of natural compounds in microtubule-targeted therapies.
