Abstract

Cardiac pressure overload resulting from transaortic constriction (TAC) induces MKP-5 expression and facilitates cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. In this dataset, we show that MKP-5 deficiency attenuates cardiac fibrosis after TAC. In vitro, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) from MKP-5 knockout mice exhibit enhanced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, JNK, and Erk compared to BMDMs from wild-type mice in response to IL-4 stimulation.
