MiR-199a-3p regulates HCT-8 cell autophagy and apoptosis in response to Cryptosporidium parvum infection by targeting MTOR

Abstract excerpt

The microRNAs (miRNAs) of their hosts play an important role in regulating both the innate and adaptive immune responses to Cryptosporidium parvum infection. The mechanisms of autophagy and apoptosis are important components of the defense system against C. parvum infection. In this study, we investigate the role of miRNA-199a-3p in regulating MTOR-mediated autophagy and apoptosis in HCT-8 cells induced by C....
