MicroRNA as a Potential Biomarker and Treatment Strategy for Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Mingming Cao, Wenjing Song, Runyu Liang, Lili Teng, Mei Zhang, Jiyao Zhang, Luwen Zhu

“…Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a progressive injury that aggravates the pathological state when the organ tissue restores blood supply after a certain period of ischemia, including the myocardial, brain, liver, kidney, and intestinal. With growing evidence that microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role as posttranscription gene silencing mediators in many I/R injury, in this review, we highlight the microRNAs that are related to I/R injury and their regulatory molecular pathways. …”
