Axotomy-Induced miR-21 Promotes Axon Growth in Adult Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons
10 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
Following injury, dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons undergo transcriptional changes so as to adopt phenotypic changes that promote cell survival and axonal regeneration. Here we used a microarray approach to profile changes in a population of small noncoding RNAs known as microRNAs (miRNAs) in the L4 and L5 DRG following sciatic nerve transection. Results showed that 20 miRNA transcripts displayed a significant...
