CaMKII activation participates in doxorubicin cardiotoxicity and is attenuated by moderate GRP78 overexpression.

The clinical use of the chemotherapeutic doxorubicin (Dox) is limited by cardiotoxic side-effects. One of the early Dox effects is induction of a sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ leak. The chaperone Glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78) is important for Ca2+ homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum (...
