Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: miR-29 is a master regulator of extracellular matrix genes, but conflicting data on its anti-fibrotic effect have been reported. miR-29 improves nitric oxide (NO) production in arterioles by targeting Lypla1. Mir29b1 targeted mutation exacerbates hypertension in a model derived from the Dahl salt-sensitive rat. We examined the effect of Mir29b1 mutation on tissue fibrosis and NO levels with a focus on...
