1 Transgenic expression of MIR122 in hepatocytes of mice with ethanol-induced liver disease and advanced fibrosis significantly reduced serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and liver steatosis and fibrosis, compared with mice given injections of the control vector. Ethanol microRNA 122 Mus musculus
2 Ethanol feeding reduced expression of pri-MIR122 by increasing expression of the spliced form of the transcription factor grainyhead like transcription factor 2 (GRHL2) in liver tissues from mice. Ethanol microRNA 122 Mus musculus
3 Mice given injections of the anti-MIR122 before ethanol feeding had increased steatosis, inflammation, and serum levels of alanine aminotransferase compared with mice given a control vector. Ethanol microRNA 122 Mus musculus
4 Expression of an anti-MIR122 worsened the severity of liver damage following ethanol feeding in mice. Ethanol microRNA 122 Mus musculus
5 MIR122 appears to protect the liver from ethanol-induced damage by reducing levels of HIF1alpha. Ethanol microRNA 122 Mus musculus
