Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention discloses a set of human microRNAs, or a primary transcript for such microRNAs, or a precursor of such microRNAs, or a mimic of such microRNAs or a combination thereof, and their use as medicaments for inducing proliferation of cardiomyocytes for the prevention and treatment of heart diseases associated with a loss of cardiomyocytes. The invention also relates to a method for screening microRNAs and biological and therapeutically active compounds for their ability to increase proliferation of cardiomyocytes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A human cardiomyocyte comprising a vector, said vector comprising at least a microRNA and/or a DNA coding for at least said microRNA and/or a DNA coding for at least a primary transcript or a precursor for said microRNA, or a combination thereof, wherein said microRNA, or combination of microRNAs, is selected from the group consisting of: (SEQ ID NO: 29) UAAUUUUAUGUAUAAGCUAGU, (SEQ ID NO: 14) ACAGUAGUCUGCACAUUGGUUA, and (SEQ ID NO: 1) ACUGCCCUAAGUGCUCCUUCUGG. 2. The cardiomyocyte according to claim 1 , wherein the vector is an adeno-associated vector (AAV) of any capsid serotype.
