TGF-β1 upregulates microRNA-192 (miR-192) in cultured glomerular mesangial cells and in glomeruli from diabetic mice. miR-192 not only increases collagen expression by targeting the E-box repressors Zeb1/2 but also modulates other renal miRNAs, suggesting that it may be a therapeutic target for diabetic nephropathy. We evaluated the efficacy of a locked nucleic acid (LNA)-modified inhibitor of miR-192, designated LNA-anti-miR-192, in mouse models of diabetic nephropathy. LNA-anti-miR-192 signifi ...[more]
