Abstract
Methods, compositions, devices, and kits for treating and/or reducing the risk of developing a condition associated with fibrosis and/or collagen deposition are provided. The method of treating and/or reducing the risk of developing a condition associated with fibrosis and/or collagen deposition in a subject includes administering an effective amount a miRNA-762 inhibitor to the subject, wherein the subject is identified as having a risk of developing and/or a need for treatment of the condition associated with fibrosis and/or collagen deposition. The kit includes a vial containing an miRNA-762 inhibitor and a device for use in a surgery creating a risk of fibrosis and/or collagen deposition. The composition includes a pharmaceutical composition comprising a miRNA-762 inhibitor and a second agent selected from the group consisting of: an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), another antihypertensive agent, a steroid, and combinations thereof.
