Title
MiR-338* suppresses fibrotic pathogenesis in pulmonary fibrosis through targeting LPA1
Year
2016
Function
"MiR-338*(miR-338-5p), which has been found to be associated with tumor progression, was down-regulated in fibroblasts and TGF-B-induced lung fibrotic tissues.LPA1 was proven to be a downstream target of miR-338*. MiR-338* attenuates the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis through targeting LPA1. Thus, miR-338* can be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of IPF."
