ABSTRACT
Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1/redox effector factor-1 (APE1/Ref-1) is a multifunctional protein involved in the DNA base excision repair pathway, redox regulation, inflammation, and survival pathways. APE1/Ref-1 could inhibit the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Excessive ROS production could lead to DNA damage and cell apoptosis, which is viewed as the cause of cardiovascular diseases. Recent advances of molecular studies have demonstrated that APE1/Ref-1 is involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. In this review, we will introduce the multifunctional role of APE1/Ref-1 and its potential usefulness as a therapeutic target in cardiovascular diseases.
