Why the study?
The relationship between the cardioprotective effects of the Hsp90 inhibitor 17-AAG and the activity of cardiac RIP1/RIP3/MLKL necrosome-associated proteins in the failing heart after myocardial infarction remained unclear.
Does 17-AAG improve cardiac function and attenuate the RIP1/RIP3/MLKL pathway in rats following myocardial infarction?
Population
Wistar rats with myocardial infarction induced by coronary artery ligation
Comparison
17-AAG treatment vs without Hsp90 inhibitor treatment
Design
Preclinical animal study
Follow-up

17-AAG attenuates RIP1/RIP3/MLKL activation post-MI in rats; leaves open whether necroptosis inhibition improves human HF outcomes.
Does 17-AAG improve cardiac function and attenuate the RIP1/RIP3/MLKL pathway in rats following myocardial infarction?
The Hsp90 inhibitor 17-AAG improves cardiac function and reduces remodeling in a rat model of post-MI heart failure by attenuating the RIP1/RIP3/MLKL necroptotic pathway.
