BNIP3 knockdown benefits rat HF models; hypothesis-generating and requires human validation before clinical consideration.
Does BNIP3 knockdown improve cardiac remodeling and function in a rat model of pressure overload heart failure?
BNIP3 knockdown attenuates cardiac remodeling and improves myocardial function in pressure overload heart failure by mitigating mitochondrial dysfunction and ER stress.
Chaanine et al. (2013) studied Heart failure. BNIP3 knockdown was evaluated on Left ventricular volumes, diastolic and systolic function, myocardial apoptosis, and interstitial fibrosis. BNIP3 knockdown in a rat model of heart failure significantly decreased left ventricular volumes, improved diastolic and systolic function, and reduced myocardial apoptosis and interstitial fibrosis.
