RPS6 and myocarditis: Because one of the key pathological hallmarks of myocarditis is swollen cytoplasm and nuclei of myocytes with increased translation and transcription [16], and recently, Ruvinsky and his colleagues have shown that the phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 (rpS6, Uniprot No. P62755) enhances translation and cell growth in vivo [17,18], the levels of total and phosphorylated rpS6 were examined to investigate whether translational efficiency was increased in EAM rats.
