Age-dependent increase of oxidative stress regulates microRNA-29 family preserving cardiac health
28 Nov 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract The short-lived turquoise killifish Nothobranchius furzeri (Nfu) is a valid model for aging studies. Here, we investigated its age-associated cardiac function. We observed oxidative stress accumulation and an engagement of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the aging heart. MiRNA-sequencing of 5 week (young), 12–21 week (adult) and 28–40 week (old) Nfu hearts revealed 23 up-regulated and 18 down-regulated miRNAs with...
