NMD, conserved from yeast to humans, is involved in apoptosis, autophagy, cellular differentiation, and gene expression regulation. NMD is a highly conserved surveillance mechanism that degrades mRNAs containing premature termination codons (PTCs) located upstream of the final exon-exon junction. NMD serves to prevent the translation of aberrant mRNA and prevents the formation of defective protein products that could result in diseases. Key players in this pathway include up-frameshift proteins (UPFs), nonsense-mediated mRNA decay associated with p13K-related kinases (SMGs), and eukaryotic release factors (eRFs), among others. Dysregulation of NMD has been linked to numerous pathological conditions such as dilated cardiomyopathy, cancer, viral infections, and various neurodevelopmental and genetic disorders. This review will examine the regulatory mechanisms by which NMD regulation or dysregulation may contribute to disease mitigation or progression and its potential for cardiovascular disease therapy. We will further explore how modulating NMD could prevent the outcomes of mutations underlying genetically induced cardiovascular conditions and its applications in personalized medicine due to its role in gene regulation. While recent advances have provided valuable insights into NMD machinery and its therapeutic potential, further studies are needed to clarify the precise roles of key NMD components in cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cells14161283","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,19]],"date-time":"2025-08-19T10:59:01Z","timestamp":1755601141000},"page":"1283","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay: Mechanisms and Recent Implications in Cardiovascular Diseases"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7033-9283","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fasilat Oluwakemi","family":"Hassan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, College of Medicine, The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN 38163, USA"},{"name":"College of Graduate Health Sciences, The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN 38163, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3458-8212","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Md Monirul","family":"Hoque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, College of Medicine, The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN 38163, USA"},{"name":"College of Graduate Health Sciences, The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN 38163, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-0272-776X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdul","family":"Majid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, College of Medicine, The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN 38163, USA"},{"name":"College of Graduate Health Sciences, The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN 38163, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joy Olaoluwa","family":"Gbadegoye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, College of Medicine, The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN 38163, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amr","family":"Raafat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, College of Medicine, The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN 38163, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7911-2923","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Djamel","family":"Lebeche","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, College of Medicine, The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN 38163, USA"},{"name":"College of Graduate Health Sciences, The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN 38163, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"107","DOI":"10.1038\/nsmb.1550","article-title":"Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) mechanisms","volume":"16","author":"Brogna","year":"2009","journal-title":"Nat.
