RGCB sheds light on heart disease risk reduction in patients with diabetes

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 16 (UNI) Researchers at the Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology (RGCB) here have identified Cyclophilin A, a protein which is a known player in several human diseases, as a potential drug target for reducing risk of heart disease in patients with diabetes.
Heart attacks result from rupture of cholesterol plaque deposited on walls of arteries. A tear or rupture in the plaque would activate a repairing mechanism resulting in a blood clot. Such clots can completely block blood flow to the heart muscle and cause a heart attack.
"Patients with diabetes mellitus have increased risk of vascular disease and are prone to ruptures. Our research has shown that Cyclophilin A plays a major role in increasing the risk," Dr. Surya Ramachandran, a program scientist with the Cardiovascular Diseases and Diabetes Biology lab, RGCB, said in a press release here on Sunday.
