Resina draconis inhibits the endoplasmic-reticulum-induced apoptosis of myocardial cells via regulating miR-423-3p/ERK signaling pathway in a tree shrew myocardial ischemia- reperfusion model.

Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) is one of the significant medical problems in China. Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining is used to detect the status of the infarct size, and real-time PCR and western blotting are used to detect expressions of genes. TUNEL assay has been used to detect apoptosis.
