Colon Epithelial MicroRNA Network in Fatty Liver

Figure 5

Working model of the MetS-FL miRs in colorectal epithelia. On left, signaling network in which the three miRs participate shows a global cellular miRNome network targeting the epithelial cell junction in colon enterocytes. On right, microbial translocation and epithelial barrier dysfunction are associated with the MetS-FL miR network. LPS: lipopolysaccharides. (Acknowledgment: A. Hoofring, NIH Medical Arts Branch).
