Delivering microRNA (miRNA) to treat cardiac disease is a significant challenge, and selecting an efficient delivery method to target the affected organ is critical for therapeutic success. Here, we present a protocol for delivering miRNA to the heart of rats with heart failure using adeno-associated virus (AAV9) coupled with a hydrodynamic transfusion strategy. We describe steps for inducing heart failure, echocardiography, and AAV9 application. Further, we provide a comprehensive procedure to detect miRNA expression in cardiac tissues using stem-loop RT-qPCR. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Mushtaq et al..
递送微小RNA(miRNA)来治疗心脏病是一项重大挑战,选择一种有效的递送方法以靶向受影响器官对于治疗成功至关重要。在此,我们展示了一种使用腺相关病毒(AAV9)并结合流体动力学输血策略将miRNA递送至心力衰竭大鼠心脏的方案。我们描述了诱导心力衰竭、超声心动图检查和应用AAV9的步骤。此外,我们提供了一种使用茎环逆转录定量聚合酶链反应(stem-loop RT-qPCR)检测心脏组织中miRNA表达 的全面程序。有关此方案的使用和执行的完整详细信息,请参考穆斯塔克等人的研究。
