摘要：
Why babies of crack-cocaine mothers develop heart problems has always been a mystery. In this issue of Molecular Pharmacology, Zhang et al. ( p. 1319) show that a specific methylation occurs at the protein kinase C epsilon (PKC epsilon) promoter of the babies born of mother rats exposed to cocaine. This reduces the expression of PKC epsilon, a naturally cardioprotective enzyme, which provides a plausible molecular mechanism for cardiac failure.
