MicroRNA-29b Mediates Lung Mesenchymal-Epithelial Transition and Prevents Lung Fibrosis in the Silicosis Model
5 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Lung epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays an important role in silicosis fibrosis. The reverse process of EMT is mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET), which is viewed as an anti-EMT therapy and is a good target toward fibrosis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as potent regulators of EMT and MET programs, and, hence, we tested the miRNA expression using microarray assay and investigated their roles in...
