A DGCR8-Independent Stable MicroRNA Expression Strategy Reveals Important Functions of miR-290 and miR-183–182 Families in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells

Stem Cell Reports, 2017
Summary: Dgcr8 knockout cells provide a great means to understand the function of microRNAs (miRNAs) in vitro and in vivo. Current strategies to study miRNA function in Dgcr8 knockout cells depend on transient transfection of chemically synthesized miRNA

Targeting m6A Modifications Regulating Ferroptosis Offers Novel Therapy in Diseases

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
m6A RNA modification regulates ferroptosis by balancing iron metabolism, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant defenses. Dysregulated m6A signaling disrupts pro‐ and anti‐ferroptotic factors, leading to excess ROS, Fe3+ accumulation, and lipid peroxidation–driven cell death. Targeting m6A‐mediated ferroptotic regulation represents a promising therapeutic

DGCR8-mediated production of canonical microRNAs is critical for regulatory T cell function and stability. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Regulatory T cells (Treg) are integral for immune homeostasis. Here we demonstrate that canonical microRNAs (miRNAs) are required for Treg function because mice with DGCR8-deficient Treg cells spontaneously develop a scurfy-like disease.

MicroRNA‐Driven Regulation of β‐Cell Function in Type 2 Diabetes: Molecular Mechanisms, Network Insights, and Translational Perspectives

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as central regulators of pancreatic islet biology, influencing β‐cell development, proliferation, and function. In type 2 diabetes (T2D), both adaptive and maladaptive miRNA responses shape β‐cell compensation and progressive secretory dysfunction.

Genetic polymorphism in DGCR8 is associated with late onset of preeclampsia

BMC Medical Genetics, 2019
Background PE (preeclampsia) is a heterogeneous disorder with early onset PE (EOPE) and late onset PE (LOPE) subtypes. Associations between maternal miRNAs biosynthesis genes polymorphisms and risk of PE have been previously observed. However, the impact

The Expression of AGO2 and DGCR8 in Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2014
ObjectivesThe microRNAs have been implicated in the development and function of the inner ear, especially in contribution to hearing. However, the impact of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) on expression of miRNA biogenesis-related ...

The WHO Classification of Genetic Tumour Syndromes: Considerations for Genetics

Clinical Genetics, Volume 110, Issue 3, Page 389-401, September 2026.
The WHO Classification of Tumours underpins the diagnosis of neoplastic conditions. The new WHO classification of genetic tumour syndromes (GTS) provides international standards for their diagnosis. This diagram highlights the chromosomal distribution of the genes involved in the GTS covered in this classification.

MicroRNAs in Spinal Cord Injury: Molecular and Translational Insights

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) modulate secondary injury cascades following spinal cord injury (SCI), including inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and demyelination. Key miRNAs such as miR‐21, miR‐124, miR‐219, and miR‐223 exert neuroprotective effects by regulating astrocytic response, axon regeneration, and remyelination.

Schizophrenic Phenotype and Therapeutic Course Associated With Chromosome 22q11.2 Deletion in a Cohort Without Prior Diagnosis of Chromosome 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, Volume 201, Issue 5, Page 331-337, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Chromosome 22q11.2 deletion is the greatest single genetic factor predisposing to schizophrenia. The prevalence of schizophrenia reported ranges from 2% to 30% in patients with chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome with a still discussed phenotype.
