Computational predictions highlighted a prominent role for miR 423 5p. Interaction between miR 423 5p and HCN4 was confirmed by a dose dependent reduction in HCN4 3 untranslated region luciferase reporter activity on cotransfection with precursor miR 423 5p (abolished by mutation of predicted recognition elements). Knockdown of miR 423 5p with anti miR 423 5p reversed training induced bradycardia via rescue of HCN4 and If.
