miR-195 Enhances Cardiomyogenic Differentiation of the Proepicardium/Septum Transversum by Smurf1 and Foxp1 Modulation

Investigators provide a comprehensive characterization of the developmental expression profile of multiple microRNAs during epicardial development in chicken. They identified that miR-125, miR-146, miR-195 and miR-223 selectively enhanced cardiomyogenesis both in the proepicardium/ST explants as well as in the embryonic epicardium, a Smurf1- and Foxp1-driven process.
