Expression profile of androgen-modulated microRNAs in the fetal murine lung
2016
Background
Androgens are known to delay lung development. As a consequence, the incidence and morbidity of respiratory distress syndrome of the neonate are higher for male than for female premature infants. We previously reported that many genes were expressed with a sex difference in the mouse developing lung and that several genes were under the control of androgens in the male fetal lung. microRNAs are small non-coding RNAs known to negatively regulate the expression of specific genes. In this study, we examined whether murine miRNAs are under the control of androgens in the male developing lung.
