Elevated miR-499 Levels Blunt the Cardiac Stress Response
BACKGROUND The heart responds to myriad stresses by well-described transcriptional responses that involve long-term changes in gene expression as well as more immediate, transient adaptations. MicroRNAs quantitatively regulate mRNAs and thus may affect the cardiac transcriptional output and cardiac function. Here we investigate miR-499, a microRNA embedded within a ventricular-specific myosin h...
متن کاملHow to interpret elevated cardiac troponin levels.
Cardiac troponin (cTn) testing is an essential component of the diagnostic workup and management of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Although over the past 15 years the diagnostic performance of the previous gold-standard assay, creatine kinaseMB, has not changed appreciably, the ever-increasing sensitivity of cTn assays has had a dramatic impact on the use of cTn testing to diagnose ACS.1 Here,...
متن کاملA human 3' miR-499 mutation alters cardiac mRNA targeting and function.
RATIONALE MyomiRs miR-499, miR-208a and miR-208b direct cardiac myosin gene expression. Sequence complementarity between miRs and their mRNA targets determines miR effects, but the functional consequences of human myomiR sequence variants are unknown. OBJECTIVE To identify and investigate mutations in human myomiRs in order to better understand how and to what extent naturally-occurring seque...
متن کاملElevated miR-130a/miR130b/miR-152 expression reduces intracellular ATP levels in the pancreatic beta cell
MicroRNAs have emerged as important players of gene regulation with significant impact in diverse disease processes. In type-2 diabetes, in which impaired insulin secretion is a major factor in disease progression, dysregulated microRNA expression in the insulin-secreting pancreatic beta cell has been widely-implicated. Here, we show that miR-130a-3p, miR-130b-3p, and miR-152-3p levels are elev...
متن کاملmiR-886-3p levels are elevated in Friedreich ataxia.
Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) is the most common inherited ataxia caused primarily by an intronic GAA.TTC triplet repeat expansion in the frataxin (FXN) gene. FXN RNA and protein levels are reduced in patients leading to progressive gait and limb ataxia, sensory loss, reduced tendon reflexes, dysarthria, absent lower limb reflexes, and loss of position and vibration sense. Neurological manifestation...
