Microrna expression regulation

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and the molecular pathways that play main roles in breast cancer regulation are still not completely understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and transcription factors (TFs) are important regulators of gene expression.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs of about 19–25 nt that regulate gene expression posttranscriptionally under various cellular conditions, including apoptosis. The miRNAs involved in modulation of apoptotic events in T cells are partially known.

important regulators of biological processes in animals and plants. MiRNAs regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level by binding to mRNAs and either inhibit translation or modify the stability of the mRNA. Due to the important biological role of miRNAs it is of great interest to study their expression level in the cells. Furthermore, miRNAs have been associated with cancer and other diseases [1] and miRNA expression can help in the diagnosis and prognostic of human disease [2,3].

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by inhibiting translation and⁄or inducing degradation of target mRNAs, and they play important roles in a wide variety of biological func-tions including cell differentiation, tumorigenesis, apoptosis and metabo-lism.

MicroRNAs are aberrantly expressed in cancer; microRNA-143 (miR-143) is down-regulated in colon cancer. HCT116 human colorectal cancer cells were used to investigate the biological role of miR-143. Transient miR-143 overexpression resulted in an approximate 60% reduction in cell via-bility.

MicroRNA mir-9 is speculated to be involved in insulin secretion because of its ability to regulate exocytosis. Sirt1 is an NAD-dependent protein deacetylase and a critical factor in the modulation of cellular responses to altered metabolic flux. It has also been shown recently to control insulin secretion from pancreaticb-islets.

MicroRNAs are a class of small noncoding RNAs that function as key reg-ulators of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Recently, micr-oRNA-373 (miR-373) has been found to function as an oncogene in testicular germ cell tumors.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small noncoding RNAs that have gained status as important regulators of gene expression. Recent studies have demonstrated that miRNAs are aberrantly expressed in the cardiovas-cular system under some pathological conditions.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) comprise species of short noncoding RNA that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally. Recent studies have demon-strated that epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation and his-tone modification, not only regulate the expression of protein-encoding genes, but also miRNAs, such as let-7a, miR-9, miR-34a, miR-124, miR-137, miR-148 and miR-203.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally by binding to target mRNAs in a sequence-specific manner. A large number of genes appear to be the target of miRNAs, and an essential role for miRNAs in the regulation of various conserved cell signaling cascades, such as mitogen-activated protein kinase, Notch and Hedgehog

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs (~22 nucleotides) that regulate gene expression by cleaving mRNAs or inhibiting translation. The baboon is a well-characterized cardiovascular disease model; however, no baboon miRNAs have been identified. Evidence indicates that the baboon and human genomes are highly conserved; based on this conservation, we hypothesized that comparative genomic methods could be used to identify baboon miRNAs.
