, regulate hepatobiliary cell proliferation and anti-inflammatory properties via repression of distinct genes targeting downstream signaling pathways.12 By means of combined evaluation of microRNA profiling (BDL vs. manage mouse liver) and bioinformatics approaches, microRNA 125b and microRNA let7a were chosen as the prospective mediators of secretin regulated VEGF and NGF signaling, respectively. Interestingly, the expression of VEGFC is independent of the secretin-microRNA 125b network, suggesting that alterations in VEGFC expression are most likely secondary towards the increase/decrease in biliary proliferation mediated by secretin and also other not however identified variables. Negative regulation of microRNA let7a by secretin has also been confirmed via 3-UTR area, whereas the detailed mechanism of transcriptional regulation of microRNA 125b by secretin demands further studies. Each microRNA 125b and microRNA let7a have been classified as crucial modulators of cell proliferation in human liver and other organs, and a lot of target genes had been identified.48 Nevertheless, studies addressing the upstream regulators of microRNA 125b and microRNA let7a are restricted, and the mechanisms stay unclear.
