Let-7a-5p regulated by lncRNA-MEG3 promotes functional differentiation to Schwann cells from adipose derived stem cells via directly inhibiting RBPJ-mediating Notch pathway

Schwann cells (SCs) have important roles in supporting and repairing peripheral neurons, and thus have great potential for nerve injury treatment. Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) can be reliably induced to differentiate into SCs. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. We explored the roles of MEG3/let-7a-5p/RBPJ axis in the differentiation into SCs from ADSCs. Primary ADSCs were induced to differentiate into SCs by...
