MicroRNA 223 3p Negatively Regulates the NLRP3 Inflammasome in Acute and Chronic Liver Injury

Abstract excerpt

The granulocyte-specific microRNA-223 (miR-223) has recently emerged as a negative regulator of NOD-like receptor 3 (NLRP3) expression, a central key player in chronic hepatic injuries such as fibrotic nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), as well as in other liver conditions including acute hepatitis. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic effect of the synthetic miR-223 analog miR-223 3p in a murine model...
