Detail of age-related cataract
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.
