Description
These findings gain significance from reports that miR-595 impairs epithelial tight junctions, whereas miR-1246 indirectly activates the proinflammatory nuclear factor of activated T cells. miR-595 targets the cell adhesion molecule neural cell adhesion molecule-1, and fibroblast growth factor receptor 2, which plays a key role in the differentiation, protection, and repair of colonic epithelium, and maintenance of tight junctions. miR-595 and miR-1246 warrant testing as potential targets for therapeutic intervention in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
