Regulation of TERRA on telomeric and mitochondrial functions in IPF pathogenesis
1 Dec 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aging is a known risk factor of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, the pathogenic mechanisms underlying the effects of advanced aging remain largely unknown. Telomeric repeat-containing RNA (TERRA) represents a type of long noncoding RNA. In this study, the regulatory roles of TERRA on human telomeres and mitochondria and IPF epithelial injury model were identified. METHODS: Blood samples...
