Abstract excerpt
Expression of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is altered in individuals with the ΔF508 CFTR mutation. We previously reported differential expression of microRNA (miRNA) in CF airway epithelium; however, the role of miRNA in regulation of CFTR expression here remains unexplored. In this study, we investigated the role of upregulated miRNAs in CFTR regulation in vivo in bronchial...
