Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis Pathway Modulation
- Molecular classification
- Signaling pathway, Apoptosis pathway, Mitochondrial pathway, Death receptor pathway
01
Overview
Cardiomyocyte apoptosis refers to the programmed cell death of heart muscle cells, a process that plays a critical role in the development and progression of various cardiovascular diseases. Modulating this pathway involves targeting key molecular mechanisms that regulate apoptotic signaling within cardiomyocytes, including the intrinsic (mitochondrial) and extrinsic (death receptor) pathways, and key regulators such as caspases, Bcl-2 family proteins, and the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
