verified that the expression of taurine upregulated 1 (TUG1) was enhanced in myocardial infarction area of rats and silencing TUG1 further accelerated apoptotic rate of cardiomyocytes exposed to hypoxia by regulating miR-124/transforming growth factor beta 1 induced transcript 1 (Hic-5) axis [41]. The gene discussed is TGFB1I1; the disease is myocardial infarction.
