Association between endothelin-1/endothelin receptor A and inflammation in mouse kidneys following acute ischemia/reperfusion.

abstract：:microRNAs (miRNAs) are small, highly conserved, non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the post‑transcriptional level. The expression of these small RNA genes is tightly regulated during development, differentiation and apoptosis of normal cells, however, they are often deregulated in various types of cancer...
