Growing evidence has shown that miRNAs are extensively involved in the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy. In the present study, we examined the hypothesis that the miR-19a\/b family acts as a key regulator of cardiac hypertrophy and apoptosis. Forced overexpression of miR-19a\/b was sufficient to induce hypertrophy in rat neonatal cardiomyocytes. Luciferase assays revealed that miR-19a\/b directly target the anti-hypertrophic genes atrogin-1 and MuRF-1 (muscle RING-finger protein-1). The endogenous expressions of the target genes were down-regulated by miR-19a\/b. Pro-hypertrophic calcineurin\/NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T-cells) signalling was elevated markedly in the presence of miR-19b, and the calcineurin inhibitor CsA (cyclosporin A) and the PKC (protein kinase C) inhibitor GF10923X significantly attenuated the miR-19b-mediated increase in cell size and expression of hypertrophic markers. Furthermore, miR-19b led to increased cell survival through up-regulation of the NFAT target gene encoding \u03b1-crystallin-B and repression of the pro-apoptotic gene Bim (Bcl-2-interacting mediator of cell death) under ER (endoplasmic reticulum) stress conditions. Taken together, the results of the present study demonstrate that the miR-19a\/b family regulates phenotypes of cardiomyocytes via suppression of multiple direct target genes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1042\/bj20130833","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,15]],"date-time":"2013-10-15T08:30:00Z","timestamp":1381825800000},"page":"151-162","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1042\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":64,"title":["The <i>miR-19a\/b<\/i> family positively regulates cardiomyocyte hypertrophy by targeting atrogin-1 and MuRF-1"],"prefix":"10.1042","volume":"457","author":[{"given":"Dong\u00a0Woo","family":"Song","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences and Systems Biology Research Center, Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), Gwangju, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jae\u00a0Yong","family":"Ryu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences and Systems Biology Research Center, Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), Gwangju, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jin\u00a0Ock","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences and Systems Biology Research Center, Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), Gwangju, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eun\u00a0Jeong","family":"Kwon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences and Systems Biology Research Center, Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), Gwangju, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Do\u00a0Han","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences and Systems Biology Research Center, Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), Gwangju, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"288","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021112216012038800_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"45","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.physiol.65.092101.142243","article-title":"Cardiac hypertrophy: the good, the bad and the ugly","volume":"65","author":"Frey","year":"2003","journal-title":"Annu.
