LncRNA GAS5 reduces blood glucose levels and alleviates renal fibrosis in diabetic nephropathy by regulating the miR-542-3p/ERBB4 axis by Qinghua Yin, Na Guo, Ruoxi Liao

“…LncRNA GAS5 could bind to miR-542-3p and miR-542-3p further modulating ERBB4 expression. Up-regulation of miR-542-3p neutralized the suppressive effect of lncRNA GAS5 overexpression and down-regulation of ERBB4 also counteracted the inhibitory impact of down-regulation of miR-542-3p on renal fibrosis in DN mice. …”
