        Nc2Eye

           A curated ncRNAomics knowledgebase for bridging basic and clinical research in eye diseases.

Detail of hsa-miR-21
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.
PubMed ID 26915797
Year 2016
Title TGF-β regulates TGFBIp expression in corneal fibroblasts via miR-21, miR-181a, and Smad signaling.
Drug-related ncRNA NO
