Protection/regeneration of dying myocardium post myocardial infarction is important. Downregulation of survivin induces apoptosis in hypoxic human cardiomyocytes (HCM). Bio-replenishment with SurR9-C84A reinstates HCM survival, recovery and growth. SurR9-C84A targets mitochondrial depolarization, fcTnT and ROS generation in HCM. SurR9-C84A upregulates survivin, PCNA, PI3K/Akt pathway, VEGF and HSP levels. SurR9-C84A holds promise as a treatment and preventive agent to replenish survivin.
