Suppressive effect of microRNA‐29b on hepatic stellate cell activation and its crosstalk with TGF‐β1/Smad3
7 Jun 2016
Abstract excerpt
The microRNA (miR)-29 family is closely associated with fibrotic processes by virtue of its low expression in many tissues during organ fibrosis. The present study investigated whether miR-29b overexpression suppressed hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation and its interactions with transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1/mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3 (Smad3), a classical signal transduction pathway...
