Roles of specific miRNAs in cardiac hypertrophy.

Stress signals drive a pathological remodeling response of the adult heart, which is characterized by hypertrophy, ventricular dilatation, and fibrosis. miR-208 is required for stress-dependent remodeling and miR-195, which is induced by cardiac stress, is sufficient to drive cardiac remodeling. miR-133 appears to play a negative role in cardiac hypertrophy (5, 6, 8).
