Abstract:
Systemic inhibition of miR-21 has proven effective against myocardial fibrosis and dysfunction, while studies in cardiac myocytes suggested a protective role in this cell type. Considering potential implications for therapy, we aimed to determine the cell fraction where miR-21 exerts its pathological activity. We developed a viral vector-based strategy for gene targeting of nonmyocyte cardiac cells in vivo and compared global to cardiac myocyte-specific and nonmyocyte-specific deletion of miR-21...     »
