MicroRNA‐19b Reduces Hepatic Stellate Cell Proliferation by Targeting GRB2 in Hepatic Fibrosis Models In Vivo and In Vitro as Part of the Inhibitory Effect of Estradiol

Abstract excerpt

Estradiol (E2) is a major determinant of gender-based differences in the development of hepatic fibrosis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous 19-25 nucleotide, noncoding, single-stranded RNAs that regulate gene expression by blocking the translation or decreasing the stability of mRNAs and play an important role in liver fibrosis. The mechanisms underlying the regulation of miRNAs by E2 remain largely unknown. In...
