More recently, Xia et al. [33] demonstrated that mRNA expression and protein levels of RIPK2 were upregulated in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) rats and oxygen and glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R)-treated H9C2 cardiomyocytes. The gene discussed is RIPK2; the disease is myocardial ischemia.
