PINK1 modulates Prdx2 to reduce lipotoxicity‐induced apoptosis and attenuate cardiac dysfunction in heart failure mice with a preserved ejection fraction by Hao Zhang, Tianyu Xu, Xiyuan Mei, Qiming Zhao, Qiling Yang, Xianghui Zeng, Zhuang Ma, Haobin Zhou, Qingchun Zeng, Dingli Xu, Hao Ren

“…Key points Our investigation discloses a pivotal relationship between PINK1 and Prdx2 in the context of HFpEF. Notably, PINK1, in addition to its role in mitochondrial autophagy, can increase Prdx2 expression, effectively remove ROS and attenuate cardiomyocyte apoptosis by modulating the JNK and p38 pathways, thereby alleviating myocardial lipotoxicity and improving HFpEF cardiac function. …”
