Abstract Background: microRNAs are crucial for cardiovascular development and are associated with congenital heart disease (CHD). Recent studies have shown that microRNAs play a role in heart development and is closely related to
CHD. The present study investigated the underlying mechanism of microRNA-208a (miR-208a) in “simple”
CHD. Material and Methods: Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) demonstrated miR-208a
expression levels in children with CHD (n = 27) compared with normal controls (n = 29), in cardiomyocytes from
embryo 10 (E10) to post-birth (P7) and organs in adult rats in healthy rats. Apoptosis of H9c2 cells after transfection with miR-208a detected by TUNEL assay.… More >
