Outline of Final Research Achievements |
2,5-dimethylcelecoxib (DMC) prevented cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis induced by isoprenaline (ISO), a β-adrenergic receptor agonist, in mice. DMC directly affected cardiomyocytes and activated GSK-3 (negative regulator of cardiac hypertrophy). This result suggested that DMC prevented adverse cardiac remodeling via the activation of GSK-3. Furthermore, DMC suppressed the ISO-induced inactivation of autophagy in mice. Thus, this effect might also be associated with the mechanism of DMC on adverse cardiac remodeling.
