NFKB1 and infarction: This study aims to investigate the role of targeting lncRNA myocardial infarction-associated transcript (MIAT) in protection against hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury in H9c2 cells in vitro and myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in vivo by regulating expression of NF-kB and p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA).
