Functional Role of MiRNA in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
1 Jun 2014
Abstract excerpt
Heart failure (HF) disease progression is related to numerous adaptive processes including cardiac fibrosis, hypertrophy and apoptosis by activation of the 'fetal' gene program and downregulation of mRNA signatures, suggesting the importance of molecular mechanisms that suppress mRNA steady-state levels. miRNAs (miRs) are small, noncoding RNAs that bind mRNAs at their 3'-UTRs, leading to mRNA degradation or...
