Abstract

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a disorder of the heart muscle in people with diabetes that can occur independent of hypertension or vascular disease. The underlying mechanism of DCM is incompletely understood. Some transcription factors have been suggested to regulate the gene program intricate in the pathogenesis of diabetes prompted cardiac injury. Forkhead box transcription factor 1 is a pleiotropic transcription factor that plays a pivotal role in a variety of physiological processes. Altered FOXO1 expression and function have been associated with cardiovascular diseases, and the important role of FOXO1 in DCM has begun to attract attention. In this review, we focus on the FOXO1 pathway and its role in various processes that have been related to DCM, such as metabolism, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, inflammation and apoptosis.

Highlights

  • Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is causative for 80 % of the fatality rate in the diabetic inhabitants [1, 2]

  • forkhead box transcriptional factor (FOXO) regulation may deed in DCM via numerous pathways, by governing different set of genes being involved in allied processes such as oxidative stress, metabolism, inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and apoptosis

  • In summary, FOXO1 regulation may contribute to the detrimental outcomes of the cardiac cells in diabetes, accelerating the development of DCM, one of the predominant cardiac difficulties in diabetic patients

Summary

Introduction

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is causative for 80 % of the fatality rate in the diabetic inhabitants [1, 2]. FOXO regulation may deed in DCM via numerous pathways, by governing different set of genes being involved in allied processes such as oxidative stress, metabolism, inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and apoptosis. Within the setting of cardiac function, the FOXO proteins are supposed to be participated in oxidative stress [63], regulation of metabolism [58], cell cycle [64], and cell death [65].
