Detail Description:

Four weeks after MI, cardiac function, cardiac fibrosis, miR-133a levels, and apoptosis-related genes (Apaf-1, Caspase-9, and Caspase-3) were measured in the heart. We found that transfecting MSCs with miR-133a mimic improves survival of MSCs as determined by the MTT assay. Similarly, transplantation of miR-133a mimic transfected MSCs in rat hearts subjected to MI led to a significant increase in cell engraftment, cardiac function, and decreased fibrosis when compared with MSCs only or MI groups. At the molecular level, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction data demonstrated a significant decrease in expression of the proapoptotic genes; Apaf-1, caspase-9, and caspase-3 in the miR-133a mimic transplanted group. Furthermore, luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-133a is a direct target for Apaf-1. Overall, bioengineering of stem cells through miRNAs manipulation could potentially improve the therapeutic outcome of patients undergoing stem cell transplantation for MI.

The 'First Node' or 'Second Node' option represents the sub-network of interacting entry with the first or second interaction node, the 'Both the Nodes' option represents the sub-network of interacting entry with both of interaction nodes.
The 'First Neighbour' represents the sub-network of direct interacting with the center node, the 'Second Neighbour' represents the sub-network of direct or second step interacting with the center node. Interaction sub-network based on the two nodes of this interaction may help the researchers represents all interacting partners immediately.
