Recent Development


April 2022


The research group of the University of Manitoba in Canada found that vitamin C improved markers of heart health and survival in rats given doxorubicin, mainly by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. The new study assessed whether vitamin C could similarly help prevent doxorubicin's adverse effects on skeletal muscle.


The research found that DDX3X expression was significantly decreased in H9c2 cardiomyocytes treated with Dox. Ddx3x knockdown and RK-33 (DDX3X ATPase activity inhibitor) pretreatment exacerbated cardiomyocyte apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction induced by Dox treatment.
