Decreased microRNA‐142‐3p/5p expression causes CD4+ T cell activation and B cell hyperstimulation in systemic lupus erythematosus
2 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To examine the role of microRNA-142-3p/5p (miR-142-3p/5p) in the development of autoimmunity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS: MicroRNA-142-3p/5p expression levels were determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and potential target genes were verified using luciferase reporter gene assays. The effects of miR-142-3p/5p on T cell function were assessed by...
