Downregulation of microRNA-100 protects apoptosis and promotes neuronal growth in retinal ganglion cells.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) function in guiding 2'-O-methylation and pseudouridylation of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). In recent years, more and more snoRNAs have been found to play novel roles in mRNA regulation, such as pre-mRNA splicing or RNA editing. In our previous study, ...
