RNAase III-Type Enzyme Dicer Regulates Mitochondrial Fatty Acid Oxidative Metabolism in Cardiac Mesenchymal Stem Cells [PDF]
, 2019 Cardiac mesenchymal stem cells (C-MSC) play a key role in maintaining normal cardiac function under physiological and pathological conditions. Glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation predominately account for energy production in C-MSC ...

Dicer prevents genome instability in response to replication stress [PDF]
, 2019 Dicer, an endoribonuclease best-known for its role in microRNA biogenesis and RNA interference pathway, has been shown to play a role in the DNA damage response and repair of double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs) in mammalian cells.

Dicer Functions in Aquatic Species [PDF]
Journal of Amino Acids, 2011 Dicer is an RNase III enzyme with two catalytic subunits, which catalyzes the cleavage of double-stranded RNA to small interfering RNAs and micro-RNAs, which are mainly involved in invasive nucleic acid defense and endogenous genes regulation. Dicer is abundantly expressed in embryos, indicating the importance of the protein in early embryonic ...

Dicer-dependent biogenesis of small RNAs derived from 7SL RNA. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 It has been reported that decreased Dicer expression leads to Alu RNAs accumulation in human retinal pigmented epithelium cells, and Dicer may process the endogenous SINE/B1 RNAs (the rodent equivalent of the primate Alu RNAs) into small interfering RNAs

Role of Dicer Enzyme in the Regulation of Store Operated Calcium Entry (SOCE) in CD4+ T Cells [PDF]
, 2016 Background/Aims: Activation of T cell receptors (TCRs) in CD4+ T cells leads to a cascade of signalling reactions including increase of intracellular calcium (Ca2+) levels with subsequent Ca2+ dependent stimulation of gene expression, proliferation, cell

Up-regulated Dicer expression in patients with cutaneous melanoma. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs (18-24 nucleotides) that have recently been shown to regulate gene expression during cancer progression.

Structural insights into RNA processing by the human RISC-loading complex. [PDF]
, 2009 Targeted gene silencing by RNA interference (RNAi) requires loading of a short guide RNA (small interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA)) onto an Argonaute protein to form the functional center of an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC).

MicroRNA processing without Dicer [PDF]
Genome Biology, 2010 The canonical processing of precursor microRNAs requires the endonuclease Dicer. A recent study shows that microRNAs can be processed independently of Dicer but instead require Argonaute 2.

Reversible block of mouse neural stem cell differentiation in the absence of dicer and microRNAs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 To investigate the functions of Dicer and microRNAs in neural stem (NS) cell self-renewal and neurogenesis, we established neural stem cell lines from the embryonic mouse Dicer-null cerebral cortex, producing neural stem cell lines that lacked all ...
