Lin28a Protects against Hypoxia/Reoxygenation Induced Cardiomyocytes Apoptosis by Alleviating Mitochondrial Dysfunction under High Glucose/High Fat Conditions

Abstract

The present results suggest that Lin28a inhibits cardiomyocytes apoptosis by enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis and function under high glucose/high fat conditions. The mechanism responsible for the effects of Lin28a is associated with the PI3K/Akt dependent pathway.
