Abstract excerpt
The role of circular RNA (circRNA) in radiation-induced liver disease (RILD) remains largely unknown. In this study, Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (RAC1) was elevated in irradiated human hepatic stellate cell (HSC) line LX2, the important effector cell mediating RILD. Overexpression of RAC1 promotes cell proliferation, proinflammatory cytokines production, and α-smooth muscle actin expression, which...
