ncRNA name | rno-miR-29c |
ncRNA Category | miRNA |
Disease name | age-related cataract |
Species | Rattus norvegicus |
Tissues/Cell_line | lens; lens epithelial cells (LECs) |
Methods | microarray, qRT-PCR, transfection, protein blot, luciferase reporter assay |
Expression pattern | up-regulated |
Functional description | The cytoskeleton remodelling genes tropomyosin (Tm) 1α and 2β, which have been implicated in the initiation of pathophysiology, were targets of miR29c and were over-stimulated as demonstrated by inhibitor experiments. In transfection experiments, increasing the level of miR29c caused a corresponding decrease in the expression of Tm1α and 2β, suggesting that miR29c may regulate the translation of Tm1α and 2β. |
