MAPK signaling drives inflammation in LPS-stimulated cardiomyocytes: the route of crosstalk to G-protein-coupled receptors.

Profound cardiovascular dysfunction is an important cause of mortality from septic shock. The molecular underpinnings of cardiac dysfunction during the inflammatory surge of early sepsis are not fully understood. MAPKs are important signal transducers mediating inflammation whereas G-protein signali...
