Inhibition of lncRNA PVT1 alleviates calcium oxalate crystal-induced renal injury and inflammation through the miR-23b-3p/CCL7 axis.
BACKGROUND Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) contribute to kidney stone pathogenesis, especially through functioning as competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs). Previously, the differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs were identified in patients with calcium oxalate (CaOx) nephrolithiasis, and the lncRNA PVT1/miR-23b-3p/CC...
