The transcription of tissue-specific genes is controlled by regulatory factors and cofactors and is suppressed in cardiac cells by the antineoplastic agent doxorubicin. Here we show that exposure of cultured cardiomyocytes to doxorubicin resulted in the rapid depletion of transcripts for MEF2C, dHAND, and NKX2.5, three pivotal regulators of cardiac gene expression. Delivery of exogenous p300, a...
