MicroRNAs and Cardiac Regeneration.
The human heart has a limited capacity to regenerate lost or damaged cardiomyocytes after cardiac insult. Instead, myocardial injury is characterized by extensive cardiac remodeling by fibroblasts, resulting in the eventual deterioration of cardiac structure and function. Cardiac function would be improved if these fibroblasts could be converted into cardiomyocytes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small no...
متن کاملDrug and cell delivery for cardiac regeneration.
The spectrum of ischaemic cardiomyopathy, encompassing acute myocardial infarction to congestive heart failure is a significant clinical issue in the modern era. This group of diseases is an enormous source of morbidity and mortality and underlies significant healthcare costs worldwide. Cardiac regenerative therapy, whereby pro-regenerative cells, drugs or growth factors are administered to dam...
متن کاملCardiac regeneration: epicardial mediated repair
The hearts of lower vertebrates such as fish and salamanders display scarless regeneration following injury, although this feature is lost in adult mammals. The remarkable capacity of the neonatal mammalian heart to regenerate suggests that the underlying machinery required for the regenerative process is evolutionarily retained. Recent studies highlight the epicardial covering of the heart as ...
متن کاملmicroRNAs in cardiac development and regeneration.
Heart development involves the precise orchestration of gene expression during cardiac differentiation and morphogenesis by evolutionarily conserved regulatory networks. miRNAs (microRNAs) play important roles in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, and recent studies have established critical functions for these tiny RNAs in almost every facet of cardiac development and dise...
متن کاملHeme oxygenase in cardiac repair and regeneration.
The incidence of cardiac complications such as myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure is increasing. Once congestive heart failure emerges, little can be done to improve long-term cardiac function. The cellular basis of this downward spiral may be the dramatic loss of viable cardiomyocytes following acute ischemia and/or chronic apoptosis/necrosis which are not adequately replaced. ...
