Abstract:Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of heart attacks. Evidence demonstrated that coronary artery stenosis have increased inflammation leading to sustained DNA damage. In cancer, through the activation of poly(ADP)ribose‐polymerase 1 (PARP‐1), a critical enzyme acting as a DNA damage sensor, and the epigenetic reader Bromodomain‐containing protein 4 (BRD4), DNA damage promotes mitochondrial/metabolic dysfunction contributing to cell proliferation. Thus, we hypothesized that increased inflamma… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
