Abstract:ObjectiveThe diminished expression of miR‐146a in SLE contributes to the aberrant activation of the interferon pathway. Despite its significance, the underlying mechanism driving this reduced expression remains elusive. Considering the integral role of enhancers in steering gene expression, our study seeks to pinpoint the SLE‐affected enhancers responsible for modulating miR‐146a expression. Additionally, we aim to elucidate the mechanisms by which these enhancers influence miR‐146a's contribution to the activ… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
