Antisense miR-7 Impairs Insulin Expression in Developing Pancreas and in Cultured Pancreatic Buds
10 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs regulate gene expression by inhibiting translation or inducing target mRNA degradation. MicroRNAs regulate organ differentiation and embryonic development, including pancreatic specification and islet function. We showed previously that miR-7 is highly expressed in human pancreatic fetal and adult endocrine cells. Here we determined the expression profile of miR-7 in the mouse-developing pancreas by...
