MiRNA in heart disease

10 important questions on MiRNA in heart disease

Why no cell renewal HMC?

Terminally differntiated cells

Why miRNA attractive for therapy?

Bigger role during pathphysiological stress. Upstream/downstream target for disease

Where does miRNA bind to?

mRNA specific coding sections
  • Higher grades + faster learning
  • Never study anything twice
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
Discover Study Smart

Effect miRNA binding mRNA?

Reduction of translation targeted gene

Myosin heavy chains switching?

MHC-alfa is fast contraction. MHC-beta is pathologic. Thyreoid hormone -> alfa-MHC

MiRNA in stress conditions?

miRNA targets change during stress conditions (diseases)

Explain why effect of miRNA is big?

Targets different genes. Combined effect is profound.

Difficulty translating research to human?

miRNA is species dependent

Which organs easier to target with miRNA?

Liver and kidney.

Biggests challence clinical development?

Unexpected effects of miRNA (other organ)
