Several studies have confirmed the role of microRNAs in regulating ischemia/reperfusion-induced cardiac injury (I/R-I). MiR-17-5p has been regarded as an oncomiR in the development of cancer. However, its potential role in cardiomyocytes has not been exploited. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of miR-17-5p in I/R-I and the underlying mechanism through targeting Stat3, a key surviving factor in cardiomyocytes.
