Inhibitory effects of microRNA 19b in hepatic stellate cell-mediated fibrogenesis
25 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation is a pivotal event in initiation and progression of hepatic fibrosis and a major contributor to collagen deposition driven by transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β). MicroRNAs (miRs), small noncoding RNAs modulating messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein expression, have emerged as key regulatory molecules in chronic liver disease. We investigated differentially...
