摘要: microRNA (miRNA) expression is tightly controlled in a tissue-specific and developmental stage-specific manner; some are highly specifically expressed cardiovascular tissues. miRNA profiling, using microarrays facilitates studying the biological function of miRNAs. We investigated changes profiles during differentiation P19 cells into cardiac myocytes order to elucidate mechanisms heart development. The morphology was observed an inverted microscope. Western blot analysis performed detect troponin I (cTnI) expression. Total RNA extracted from for microarray real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (real-time qRT-PCR) analyses determine profile. revealed differential 49 miRNAs, which 26 were down-regulated 23 up-regulated differentiated myocytes, compared normal cells. This confirmed by qRT-PCR. also utilized target prediction identify gene targets. Some miRNAs may have important roles development congenital defects (CHDs). Further confirm their genes will potential novel miRNA-based therapeutic strategies.
