Core Tip
Core tip: miR-30b levels were significantly downregulated after hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in mice. The number of autophagosomes was increased in response to IRI both in vivo and in vitro. Decreased levels of miR-30b could promote hepatic IRI, as revealed by reductions in cells viability in vitro. Overexpression of miR-30b diminished autophagy-related gene (Atg)12 and Atg12-Atg5 conjugate levels which promoted autophagy in response to hepatic IRI. Therefore, miR-30b inhibits autophagy to alleviate hepatic IRI via decreasing the Atg12-Atg5 conjugate.
