Epigenetic Regulation of <i>miR-17∼92</i> Contributes to the Pathogenesis of Pulmonary Fibrosis

Abstract excerpt

RATIONALE: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a disease of progressive lung fibrosis with a high mortality rate. In organ repair and remodeling, epigenetic events are important. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally and can target epigenetic molecules important in DNA methylation. The miR-17~92 miRNA cluster is critical for lung development and lung epithelial cell homeostasis and...
