| ncRNA name | hsa-miR-141 |
| ncRNA Category | miRNA |
| Disease name | pterygium |
| Species | Homo sapiens |
| Tissues/Cell_line | pterygium and normal conjunctiva tissues |
| Methods | microarray, qRT-PCR |
| Expression pattern | down-regulated |
| Functional description | The concerted down-regulation of four members from both clusters of the miR-200 family (miR-200a/-200b/-429 and miR-200c/-141), which are known to regulate EMT, and up-regulation of the predicted target and mesenchymal marker fibronectin (FN1), suggest that EMT could potentially play a role in the pathogenesis of pterygium and might constitute promising new targets for therapeutic intervention in pterygium. |
