The authors also demonstrate that mice lacking miR-1-2 display defects in cardiac myocyte proliferation and in the cardiac conduction system.

Nat Genet 38 (2006) 228-233. This paper demonstrates a functional role for miR-1 and miR-133 in regulating skeletal myoblast differentiation and proliferation, respectively. The authors also show that these functions can be attributed to the repression of HDAC4 by miR-1 and SRF by miR-133.

An intragenic MEF2-dependent enhancer directs muscle-specific expression of microRNAs 1 and 133. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104 (2007) 20844-20849. This paper identifies a MEF2-dependent intronic enhancer that directs muscle-specific expression of miR-1 and miR-133a. The authors show that MEF2 and SRF regulate cardiac expression whereas MEF2 and MyoD regulate skeletal muscle expression of miR-1 and miR-133a.

Genes Dev (2008). This paper demonstrates that miR-133a-1 and miR-133a-2 function redundantly to repress smooth muscle gene expression and proliferation in cardiac myocytes. Genetic deletion of miR-133a-1 and miR-133a-2 leads to dilated cardiomyopathy and sudden death.

MicroRNA regulation of cell lineages in mouse and human embryonic stem cells. Cell Stem Cell 2 (2008) 219-229. This paper demonstrates that miR-1 and miR-133 are capable of inducing the differentiation of murine and human embryonic stem cells into the mesodermal lineage. The authors also show that the reconstitution of expression of miR-1 can partially rescue the mesodermal differentiation defects seen in Srf-deficient stem cells.
