Gene-specific MicroRNA antagonism protects against HIV Tat and TGF-β-mediated suppression of CFTR mRNA and function
Background: MicroRNAs play an important role in health and disease. TGF-β signaling, upregulated by HIV Tat, and in chronic airway diseases and smokers upregulates miR-145-5p to suppress cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). CFTR suppression in chronic airway diseases like Cyst...
