@article{10902/35610, year = {2023}, url = {https://hdl.handle.net/10902/35610}, abstract = {Myocardial infarction is the most prevalent cardiovascular disease worldwide, and it is defined as cardiomyocyte cell death due to a lack of oxygen supply. Such a temporary absence of oxygen supply, or ischemia, leads to extensive cardiomyocyte cell death in the affected myocardium. Notably, reactive oxygen species are generated during the reperfusion process, driving a novel wave of cell death. Consequently, the inflammatory process starts, followed by fibrotic scar formation. Limiting inflammation and resolving the fibrotic scar are essential biological processes with respect to providing a favorable environment for cardiac regeneration that is only achieved in a limited number of species. Distinct inductive signals and transcriptional regulatory factors are key components that modulate cardiac injury and regeneration. Over the last decade, the impact of non-coding RNAs has begun to be addressed in many cellular and pathological processes including myocardial infarction and regeneration. Herein, we provide a state-of-the-art review of the current functional role of diverse non-coding RNAs, particularly microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), in different biological processes involved in cardiac injury as well as in distinct experimental models of cardiac regeneration.}, organization = {Funding: Consejeria de Universidad, Investigación e Innovación, Junta de Andalucia, CTS-446.}, publisher = {Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)}, publisher = {Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023, 10, 123}, title = {The role of ncRNAs in cardiac infarction and regeneration}, author = {Caño-Carrillo, Sheila and Lozano-Velasco, Estefanía and Castillo-Casas, Juan Manuel and Sánchez Fernández, Cristina and Franco, Diego}, }
