MiRNA Expression Profile and Effect of Wenxin Granule in Rats with Ligation-Induced Myocardial Infarction
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: miRNAs are small (approximately 22 nucleotides) noncoding RNAs which post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression by binding complementary sequences within messenger RNA transcripts. miRNAs are likely to regulate many complex processes in the body, indeed aberrant expression of various miRNAs has been implicated in numerous disease states. They have been shown to participate in cardiovascular disease pathogenesis including atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias. To investigate the expression profiles of miRNA in MI, left ventricular tissues from 3 MI rats and 3 non-MI rats (control) that were collected for miRNA expression microarray analyses to explore the role of miRNA in the pathogenesis of MI. To assess the pathways predicted to be targeted by differentially expressed miRNAs in MI, we performed pathway analysis using the online DIANA miRPATH tool. The miR-1 and miR-133, the most abundant miRNAs in the heart, were chosen for further validation by the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and their expression trends were consistent with the microarray data. Additionally, the effect of Wenxin Granule on miR-1 and miR-133 expression was observed in present study.
