Dynamic Changes in Lung MicroRNA Profiles During the Development of Pulmonary Hypertension due to Chronic Hypoxia and Monocrotaline
28 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that have the capacity to control protein production through binding "seed" sequences within a target mRNA. Each miRNA is capable of potentially controlling hundreds of genes. The regulation of miRNAs in the lung during the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: We screened lung miRNA profiles in a longitudinal...
