The LncRNA H19/miR-1-3p/CCL2 axis modulates lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation-induced normal human astrocyte proliferation and activation

Reactive astrocyte proliferation post SCI (spinal cord injury) leads to the formation of glial scars, thus hindering axon regeneration and SCI repair, during which the activation of astrocytes plays a central role. This study attempted to identify the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network which exerts a critical effect on normal human astrocyte (NHA) activation and proliferation during SCI inflammation. Herein, lncRNA H19 expression was increased by LPS in...
