Abstract

Background— Dicer , an RNAse III endonuclease critical for processing of pre-microRNAs (miRNAs) into mature 22-nucleotide miRNAs, has proven a useful target to dissect the significance of miRNAs biogenesis in mammalian biology. Methods and Results— To circumvent the embryonic lethality associated with germline null mutations for Dicer , we triggered conditional Dicer loss through the use of a tamoxifen-inducible Cre recombinase in the postnatal murine myocardium. Targeted Dicer deletion in 3-week-old mice provoked premature death within 1 week accompanied by mild ventricular remodeling and dramatic atrial enlargement. In the adult myocardium, loss of Dicer induced rapid and dramatic biventricular enlargement, accompanied by myocyte hypertrophy, myofiber disarray, ventricular fibrosis, and strong induction of fetal gene transcripts. Comparative miRNA profiling revealed a set of miRNAs that imply causality between miRNA depletion and spontaneous cardiac remodeling. Conclusions— Overall, these results indicate that modifications in miRNA biogenesis affect both juvenile and adult myocardial morphology and function.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
