Abstract:Myocardial infarction (MI), a life-threatening cardiac event, results in extreme damage to the heart muscle. In this study, we were committed to exploring the role and related mechanisms of microRNA-181a-5p (miR-181a-5p) in MIin vitro. Firstly, we established the MIin vitro
cell model by subjecting H9c2 cells to hypoxia. We found that miR-181a-5p was significantly increased in hypoxia-induced H9c2 cells. Then, TargetScan and dual luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed the binding sites between Sirtuin 1 (SI… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
