Mitochondrial Aldehyde Dehydrogenase in Myocardial Ischemic and Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

Jie Ding et al. Adv Exp Med Biol. 2019.

Abstract

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury during acute myocardial infarction or open-heart surgery would promote oxidative stress, leading to the accumulation of reactive aldehydes that cause cardiac damage. It has been well demonstrated that aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH)-2 is an important cardioprotective enzyme for its central role in the detoxification of reactive aldehydes. ALDH2 activation by small molecule activators is a promising approach for cardioprotection for myocardial IR injury.
