MicroRNAs play an important role in regulating myocardial infarction (MI)-induced cardiac injury. MicroRNA-124 (miR-124) plays a vital role in regulating cellular proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Although the alteration of miR-124 was confirmed in peripheral blood of MI patients, little is known regarding the biological functions of miR-124 in cardiomyocytes. This study was designed to explore the role of miR-124 in MI and its underlying mechanisms.
