Assignee:

AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P. - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

H04H 60/33

US Classification:

370477, 725 10

Mei Xin - Dallas TX, US

Assignee:

Board of Regents, the University of Texas System - Austin TX

International Classification:

C12N 15/11
A61K 48/00

US Classification:

514 44A, 514 44 R

Abstract:

The present invention relates to the identification of microRNAs that regulate smooth muscle cell proliferation and differentiation, including the miR-143/miR-145 cluster. Methods of treating restenosis and neointima formation by increasing expression of miR-143 and/or miR-145 are disclosed. The present invention also relates to the identification of two microRNAs, miR-486 and miR-422a, that regulate cell survival in the heart. Methods of treating or preventing cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, or myocardial infarction by increasing expression of miR-486 and/or miR-422a in heart tissue are also disclosed.
