Resumen

La insuficiencia cardíaca congestiva y la fibrilación auricular reducen los niveles de microRNA29b (miR29b), promoviendo la fibrosis auricular. La restauración de miR29b puede combatir la remodelación fibrótica en las afecciones cardíacas.

MicroRNAs

MicroRNA (miRNA) are short, regulatory RNA transcribed from introns (non-coding regions of a gene) or intergenic regions (stretches of DNA present between genes). Several processing steps are required to form biologically active, mature miRNA. The initial transcript, called primary miRNA (pri-mRNA), base-pairs with itself, forming a stem-loop structure. Within the nucleus, an endonuclease enzyme, called Drosha, shortens the stem-loop structure into hairpin-shaped pre-miRNA. After the pre-miRNA...
