WISP1 has been demonstrated to contribute to IPF pathogenesis and this gene is found to contain target sites for miR-92a in the 3′-UTR region and introduction of miR-92a decreased TGF-β1-induced WISP1 expression (Berschneider et al., 2014). This evidence concerns the gene TGFB1 and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
