NFAT3 and TGF-β/SMAD3 regulate the expression of miR-140 in osteoarthritis
21 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) down-regulate their target genes. The intronic miR-140, present in the WW domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2 (WWP2) gene, decreases the expression of genes that play detrimental roles in osteoarthritis (OA). As the expression level of miR-140 is significantly decreased in human OA chondrocytes, we investigated its regulation in those cells. METHODS: Gene expression in...
