TP53 and cardiomyopathy: Our results demonstrated that the p53-miR-18-HSF2-IGF-IIR axis was a critical regulatory pathway of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that miR-18 could be a therapeutic target for the control of cardiac functions and the alleviation of cardiomyopathy during hypertension-induced heart failure.
