Inhibition of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway by a β-catenin/CBP inhibitor prevents heart failure by ameliorating cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis

Abstract In heart failure (HF) caused by hypertension, the myocyte size increases, and the cardiac wall thickens. A low-molecular-weight compound called ICG001 impedes β-catenin-mediated gene transcription, thereby protecting both the heart and kidney. However, the HF-preventive mechanisms of ICG001...
