Abstract

Manipulation of microRNA (miRNA) expression has been shown to induce cardiac regeneration, consolidating their therapeutic potential. However, studies often validate only a few miRNA targets in each experiment and hold these targets entirely accountable for the miRNAs’ action, ignoring the other potential molecular and cellular events involved. In this report, experimentally validated miRNAs are used as a window of discovery for the possible genes and signaling pathways that are implicated in cardiac regeneration. A thorough evidence search was conducted, and identified miRNAs were submitted for in silico dissection using reliable bioinformatics tools. A total of 46 miRNAs were retrieved from existing literature. Shared targets between miRNAs included well-recognized genes such as BCL-2, CCND1, and PTEN. Transcription factors that are possibly involved in the regeneration process such as SP1, CTCF, and ZNF263 were also identified. The analysis confirmed well-established signaling pathways involved in cardiac regeneration such as Hippo, MAPK, and AKT signaling, and revealed new pathways such as ECM-receptor interaction, and FoxO signaling on top of hormonal pathways such as thyroid, adrenergic, and estrogen signaling pathways. Additionally, a set of differentially expressed miRNAs were identified as potential future experimental candidates.
