Restoration of Sestrin 3 Expression Mitigates Cardiac Oxidative Damage in Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury Model by Mina Park, Sunghye Cho, Dongtak Jeong

“…Cardiac ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI) occurs when blood flow is restored to the myocardium after a period of ischemia, leading to oxidative stress and subsequent myocardial cell damage, primarily due to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In our previous research, we identified that miR-25 is significantly overexpressed in pressure overload-induced heart failure, and its inhibition improves cardiac function by restoring the expression of SERCA2a, a key protein involved in calcium regulation. …”
