Overexpression of microRNA-1 impairs cardiac contractile function by damaging sarcomere assembly
18 Jun 2012
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of overexpression of microRNA-1 (miR-1) on cardiac contractile function and the potential molecular mechanisms. METHODS AND RESULTS: Transgenic (Tg) mice (C57BL/6) for cardiac-specific overexpression of miR-1 driven by the α-myosin heavy chain promoter were generated and identified by real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction with...
