Abstract

Little is known regarding the functional role of microRNA-195-5p (miR-195-5p) in heart failure (HF). Hence, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of miR-195-5p on cardiac function in mice with HF and its mechanism through the regulation of Chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) and Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway. The mice model of HF was established by transverse aortic constriction, the successfully modeled mice were injected with anti-miR-195-5p and OE-CXCR4. The expression of miR-195-5p, CXCR4, JAK2 and STAT1 in the myocardial tissues of each group were detected. The target relationship between miR-195-5p and CXCR4 was verified. The indices of cardiac ultrasound, hemodynamics, oxidative stress, inflammatory factor, myocardial enzyme and cardiac function were detected. MiR-195-5p, JAK2 and STAT1 expression were raised and CXCR4 expression was degraded in myocardial tissues of HF mice and CXCR4 was the target gene of miR-195-5p. Down-regulated miR-195-5p and up-regulated CXCR4 ameliorated cardiac function, abated inflammatory factors contents, oxidative stress reaction and myocardial enzyme indices in HF mice. Down-regulated miR-195-5p and up-regulated...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Cardiovascular Homeostasis

Cardiovascular regulation and homeostasis is important in maintaining health and dysfunction may lead to cardiovascular diseases. Nitric oxide and vascular endothelium are one of many molecules involved in the homeostatic mechanism. Here is the latest research on cardiovascular homeostasis.
