Downregulation of miR-542-3p Contributes to Apoptosis Resistance in Dermal Fibroblasts from Systemic Sclerosis Patients via Survivin Overexpression

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by excessive production of collagens by fibroblasts that leads to vast fibrosis. Resistance to apoptosis is one of the possible underlying mechanisms of fibrosis in these patients. Survivinis involved in inhibition of apoptosis and aberrantly functions in S...
