Research Abstract |
About 1000miRNAs have already been discovered in human and it is estimated that they can regulate more than 50% of genes. We have shown that specific miRNAs have function in cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, and metabolic disorders. Some of miRNAs are good targets for the treatment of such disease conditions. We also revealed that circulating miR-1 and miR-133a can be used as biomarkers for myocardial injury and there is a possibility that they can affect in other cells/organs.
