The feedback loop between miR-21, PDCD4 and AP-1 functions as a driving force for renal fibrogenesis
20 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
Renal fibrosis is a final common pathway of chronic kidney disease. Sustained activation of fibroblasts is considered to play a key role in perpetuating renal fibrosis but the driving force in the perpetuation stage is only partially understood. To date, some investigations have specifically identified overexpression of microRNA 21 (miR-21) in the progression of kidney fibrosis. Nevertheless, the precise role of...
