Let-7 suppresses liver fibrosis by inhibiting hepatocyte apoptosis and TGF-β production
Objective: FAS-mediated apoptosis of hepatocytes and aberrant TGF-β signaling are major drivers of liver fibrosis. Decreased miRNA let-7 expression in the livers of patients and animals with fibrosis suggests a mechanistic link of let-7 to hepatic fibrogenesis. Methods: Using transient transfection...
