LukS-PV-Regulated MicroRNA-125a-3p Promotes THP-1 Macrophages Differentiation and Apoptosis by Down-Regulating NF1 and Bcl-2
1 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: LukS-PV is a component of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL). We have previously demonstrated that LukS-PV potently promoted differentiation and induced apoptosis in THP-1 cells. However, the precise mechanisms of these actions remain unknown. MicroRNAs (miRs) play important roles in cellular differentiation and apoptosis. This study aimed to investigate the role of miR-125a-3p in...
