Abstract:Dysregulated autophagy/mitophagy is one of the major causes of cardiac injury in ischemic conditions. Glycogen synthase kinase-3alpha (GSK-3alpha) has been shown to play a crucial role in the pathophysiology of cardiac diseases. However, the precise role of GSK-3alpha in cardiac mitophagy remains unknown. Herein, we investigated the role of GSK-3alpha in cardiac mitophagy by employing AC16 human cardiomyocytes under the condition of acute hypoxia. We observed that the gain-of-GSK-3alpha function profoundly ind… Show more
