• transgenic expression of Mir208a prevents the onset of dilated cardiomyopathy in cardiac conditional knockouts of Tarbp2 and results in mice with normal heart morphology, histology, and function

mortality/aging
• Although homozygotes are born in normal mendelian ratio indicating no embryonic lethality, more than 80 percent of these cardiac conditional knockout homozygotes die by 4 months of age and none survive beyond 8 months of age

cardiovascular system
• although gross morphology of the heart is normal at 2 weeks of age, atrial dilation is found by 3 weeks of age and substantial dilation of both atrial and ventricular chambers is found by 1 month of age and is severe in the homozygotes that survive to 2 months of age, yet cardiomyocyte size appears normal
• neonatal adeno-associated virus-mediated delivery of Tarbp2 or transgenic expression of Mir208a suppresses chamber dilation, permits normal cardiac morphology and restores viability as does knockdown of Sox6, while Tnnt2-dirven viral-mediated overexpression of Sox6 recapitulates the phenotype of cardiac conditional null Tarbp2
• by 3 weeks of age atrial dilation is found
• by 1 month of age dilation of the ventricular chambers is also found
• by 2 weeks of age the left ventricular fractional shortening is decreased and this drops precipitously resulting in severe systolic dysfunction by 1 month of age

muscle
• by 2 weeks of age the left ventricular fractional shortening is decreased and this drops precipitously resulting in severe systolic dysfunction by 1 month of age
