(
Springer-Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
p90 ribosomal S6 kinase (p90RSK) constitutes a family of serine/threonine kinases that have been shown to be involved in cell proliferation of various malignancies via direct or indirect effects on the cell-cycle machinery. ...
Cathepsin B Induced Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy Requires Activation of The Na+/H+ Exchanger Isoform-1
(2016 , Master Thesis)
Multiple studies have demonstrated that proteases, specifically cathepsin B (Cat B) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) contribute to the remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM), a hallmark of cardiac hypertrophy ...
The Efficacy of Etoposide on H9c2 Cardiomyoblasts Against Doxorubicin Induced Cardiotoxicity
(
OMICS International
, 2015 , Article)
Background: Doxorubicin (DOX), a widely used anticancer drug, has been associated with cardiotoxicity.
Recently, DOX-induced cardiotoxicity has been attributed to topoisomerase II (TOPII)-β expression and activity. In
our ...
Myocardial proteases and cardiac remodeling
(
Wiley-Liss Inc.
, 2017 , Article Review)
Cardiac hypertrophy (CH), characterized by the enlargement of cardiomyocytes, fibrosis and apoptosis, is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Despite the advances in cardiovascular research, there remains a need ...

(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Background: Progression of the heart to failure is primarily caused due to significant remodeling of both the extracellular matrix (ECM) and subcellular organelles, a hallmark of cardiac hypertrophy (CH). Uncontrolled ECM ...

The Role of p90 Ribosomal S6 Kinase (RSK) in Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI)-Induced Cardiotoxicity
(
Springer
, 2023 , Article Review)
Targeted therapy, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), has been approved to manage various cancer types. However, TKI-induced cardiotoxicity is a limiting factor for their use. This issue has raised the need for ...
