The Role of MicroRNAs in Pancreatitis

Abstract

Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) leads to hundreds of thousands of hospital admissions each year in the United States. We studied the role of a noncoding RNA gene in pancreas inflammation using mouse cells. Gene deletion of this RNA reduces the proinflammatory response of mouse cells. These data support that this RNA is a critical promoter to pancreatitis.
