A Manually Curated Knowledgebase of Aging across a variety of Species

Details


Name miR-146a
Type miRNA
Species Mus musculus
Tissue eye
Experiment Method RNA isolation and qRT-PCR
Up/Down Up
Pro/Anti NA
Funtion Description Elevation of miR-146a and miR-146b in the aging RPE/choroid but not neuroretina suggests a role for miRNAs in inflammaging in the RPE/choroid. miR-146a overexpression inhibits the expression IL-6 and VEGF-A in the RPE cells, supporting a negative feedback
Regulation Gene null
Year 2016
Pubmed ID 27917303
Title miR-146a is upregulated during retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)/choroid aging in mice and represses IL-6 and VEGF-A expression in RPE cells
Drug NA
Disease age-related macular degeneration
Environment Factors NA
Circulating NA
Variant NA
High-throughput NA
