Myocardial injury and disease often results in heart failure, the leading cause of death worldwide. To achieve myocardial regeneration and foster development of efficient therapeutics for cardiac injury, it is essential to uncover molecular mechanisms that will promote myocardial regeneration. In this review, we examine the latest progress made in elucidation of the roles of small non coding RNAs called microRNAs (miRs) in myocardial regeneration. Promising progress has been made in studying cardiac regeneration. Several miRs, which includes miR-590, miR-199a, miR-17-92 cluster, miR-199a-214 cluster, miR-34a, and miR-15 family, have been recently shown to play an essential role in myocardial regeneration by regulating different processes during cardiac repair, including cell death, proliferation and metabolism. For example, miR-590 promotes cardiac regeneration through activating cardiomyocytes proliferation, while miR-34a inhibits cardiac repair through inducing apoptosis. These recent findings shed new light on our understanding of myocardial regeneration and suggest potential novel therapeutic targets to treat cardiac disease.
