MiR-126 accelerates renal injury induced by UUO via inhibition PI3K/ IRS-1/ FAK signaling induced M2 polarization and endocytosis in macrophages.

To investigate the role and molecular mechanism of miR-126 in unilateral ureteral occlusion (UUO). We used bioinformatics to analyse miRNAs specifically expressed in UUO. The mouse model of UUO was established using RAW264.

Up-regulation of microRNA-302a inhibited the proliferation and invasion of colorectal cancer cells by regulation of the MAPK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways.

Aberrant expression of microRNA-302a (miR-302a) has been frequently reported in some cancers excluding colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the role of miR-302a in CRC has not been reported. In this paper, we examined the effect of miR-302a overexpression on proliferation and invasion in CRC cells.
