Abstract
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited heart disease, and current pharmacological therapies are directed toward the management of electrical manifestations. To date, none address the underlying pathophysiology of this progressive condition. We evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of Tideglusib (TD) in Ank2 cardio-selective-knockout and homozygous desmoglein-2 mutant ACM mouse models. TD was able to prevent and reverse the reduced cardiac function in treated mice. Moreover, TD-treated adult mice displayed a reduction in ventricular arrhythmia following adrenergic stimulation. We provide compelling preclinical data for TD as a potential therapy for patients with ACM.
期刊介绍:
JACC: Basic to Translational Science is an open access journal that is part of the renowned Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). It focuses on advancing the field of Translational Cardiovascular Medicine and aims to accelerate the translation of new scientific discoveries into therapies that improve outcomes for patients with or at risk for Cardiovascular Disease. The journal covers thematic areas such as pre-clinical research, clinical trials, personalized medicine, novel drugs, devices, and biologics, proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics, as well as early phase clinical trial methodology.
