MicroRNA-221 protects myocardial contractility in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury through phospholamban. by Hongyu Li, Jimiao Qiu, Chang Liu, Guobing Yu, Danyu Wu, Yichun Chu, Kai Wang

“…Following the overexpression of miRNA 221 in myocardium, there was a marked alleviation of myocardial injury and cardiomyocyte apoptosis and necrosis, significant enhancement of left ventricular systolic function, and marked decrease in the levels of PLB, p-PLB (Ser16), p-PLB (Thr17), caspase 3 and Cyt C, as well as a significant decrease in total calcium levels in myocardium.<h4>Conclusions</h4>miRNA 221 can alleviate myocardial injury in mouse myocardial ischemia/reperfusion by suppressing the expression of PLB, thus reducing calcium overload in myocardium.…”
