MicroRNA-425 and microRNA-155 cooperatively regulate atrial natriuretic peptide expression and cGMP production.
AIMS:Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), secreted primarily by atrial cardiomyocytes, decreases blood pressure by raising cyclic 3',5'-guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels and inducing vasorelaxation, natriuresis, and diuresis. Raising the level of ANP has been shown to be an effective trea...
