MicroRNA-21 Lowers Blood Pressure in Spontaneous Hypertensive Rats by Upregulating Mitochondrial Translation
20 Aug 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Excessive reactive oxygen species generated in mitochondria has been implicated as a causal event in hypertensive cardiomyopathy. Multiple recent studies suggest that microRNAs (miRNAs) are able to translocate to mitochondria to modulate mitochondrial activities, but the medical significance of such a new miRNA function has remained unclear. Here, we characterized spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHRs)...
