<h4>Background and aims</h4>The intestine exhibits profound diurnal rhythms in function and morphology, in part due to changes in enterocyte proliferation. The regulatory mechanisms behind these rhythms remain largely unknown. We hypothesized that microRNAs are involved in mediating these rhythms, and studied the role of microRNAs specifically in modulating intestinal proliferation.<h4>Methods</h4>Diurnal rhythmicity of microRNAs in rat jejunum was analyzed by microarrays and validated by qPCR. ...[more]
