CKIP-1 Inhibits Cardiac Hypertrophy by Regulating Class II Histone Deacetylase Phosphorylation Through Recruiting PP2A

CKIP-1 was found to be an inhibitor of cardiac hypertrophy by upregulating the dephosphorylation of HDAC4 through the recruitment of protein phosphatase 2A. These results demonstrated a unique function of CKIP-1, by which it suppresses cardiac hypertrophy through its capacity to regulate HDAC4 dephosphorylation and fetal cardiac genes expression.
