medicine | mice devoid of AKR1B3 and exposed to acute occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery display reduced infarct size and improved functional recovery at 48 hours compared to wild-type mice. The cardioprotection observed in AKR1B3 null mice is linked to acute activation of the beta-catenin pathway and consequent activation of mesenchymal markers and genes linked to fibrotic remodeling. The increased activity of the beta-catenin pathway at 48 hours of recovery is not observed at 28 days post-infarction. In ex vivo studies, inhibition of beta-catenin blocks the cardioprotection observed in AKR1B3 null mice hearts | Mus musculus |
