A study found that in HepG2 cells, miR-23b-3p inhibits the synthesis of ApoA protein, which is a risk factor for thrombotic diseases (Zeng et al., 2018), whereas another study reported that SIRT1, an enzyme that prevents lipid accumulation, was repressed by hsa-miR-23b-3p in hepatocytes (Borji et al., 2019). The gene discussed is SIRT1; the disease is thrombotic disease.
