Intrarenal Expression of miRNAs in Patients With Hypertensive Nephrosclerosis
12 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding, single-stranded RNA molecules that play important roles in a number of physiological and pathological processes. Previous studies showed that miRNAs targeting transcription factors ZEB1 and ZEB2 may repress epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). METHODS: We studied 34 consecutive patients with biopsy-proven hypertensive nephrosclerosis. Intrarenal expression of...
