GW29-e0913 Enhanced miR-148b expression by PPARγ inhibits rat cardiomyocytes apoptosis targeting PTEN after myocardial infarction

MicroRNA-148b (miR-148b) levels in the heart showed upregulated after myocardial infarction (MI). As proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) ligand, pioglitazone can upregulate miR-148b in adipocytes and cardiofibroblasts. This study examined whether PPARγ indeed upregulate miR-148b and its
