Of note, this finding can be functionally recapitulated by (i) the downregulation of Atg7 achieved via adenoviral delivery of Mir188‐3p, which appears to limit the size of myocardial infarction (Wang et al, 2015); and (ii) GSK3B (glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta) inhibition, which suppresses autophagy in an MTORC1‐dependent manner (Zhai et al, 2011). Here, GSK3B is linked to myocardial infarction.
