ncRNA name | hsa-miR-21 |
ncRNA Category | miRNA |
Disease name | granular corneal dystrophy type 2 (GCD2) |
Species | Homo sapiens |
Tissues/Cell_line | primary corneal fibroblasts |
Methods | qRT-PCR, Western blot |
Expression pattern | associated |
Functional description | TGFBIp levels in corneal fibroblasts are controlled via the coordinated activity of miR-21 and miR-181a and by Smad signaling. Pharmacologic modulation of these miRNAs and TGF-β signaling could have therapeutic potential for TGFBI-associated corneal dystrophy, including GCD2. |
