- 用PMN外体化巨细胞,并评估炎症标志物 (IL-6,TNF,CD80,CD86).
- 外基因组的miRNA测序,巨细胞的RNA测序,以及双 luciferase 记者测试,以确定关键的miRNA目标和途径.
主要成果:
- BD PMN外体数量减少,与C反应蛋白 (CRP) 有负相关性.

01:22MicroRNAs
MicroRNA (miRNA) are short, regulatory RNA transcribed from introns—non-coding regions of a gene—or intergenic regions—stretches of DNA present between genes. Several processing steps are required to form biologically active, mature miRNA. The initial transcript, called primary miRNA (pri-mRNA), base-pairs with itself forming a stem-loop structure. Within the nucleus, an endonuclease enzyme, called Drosha, shortens the stem-loop structure into hairpin-shaped pre-miRNA. After the pre-miRNA ends...
