Title
NF-kB Mediated miR-26a Regulation in Cardiac Fibrosis
Year
2012
Function
"miR-26a has targets collagen i and CTGF and possesses putative NF-KB binding element in its promoter region, inhibition of NF-KB in cardiac fibroblast restores miR-26a expression, attenuating collagen i, and CTGF gene expression in the presence of ang ii, conferring a feedback regulatory mechanism in cardiac fibrosis."
