Reversible block of mouse neural stem cell differentiation in the absence of dicer and microRNAs. [PDF]
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 ...

Some RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) discriminate viral and cellular dsRNA by their termini, and Drosophila melanogaster Dicer-2 (dmDcr-2) differentially processes dsRNA with blunt or 2 nucleotide 3’-overhanging termini. We investigated the transient kinetic

Conservation of Differential Animal MicroRNA Processing by Drosha and Dicer
In complex biochemical systems, an enzyme, protein, or RNA, symbolized as E, has hundreds or thousands of substrates or interacting partners. The relative specificity hypothesis proposes that such an E would differentially interact with and influence its

The Cytoplasmic MicroRNA-Production Complex Regulates MicroRNA Sorting to Extracellular Vesicles During Synaptogenesis. [PDF]
The mechanisms of microRNA cargo sorting to extracellular vesicles, important mediators of cell communication, are not fully understood. This study reveals that the microRNA‐production machinery acts as a ‘hub’ for the sorting of microRNAs to extracellular vesicles, a process regulated by dynamic organelle interactions.

Dicer is required for maintenance of adult pancreatic acinar cell identity and plays a role in Kras-driven pancreatic neoplasia. [PDF]
The role of miRNA processing in the maintenance of adult pancreatic acinar cell identity and during the initiation and progression of pancreatic neoplasia has not been studied in detail.

Dicer expression exhibits a tissue-specific diurnal pattern that is lost during aging and in diabetes. [PDF]
Dysregulation of circadian rhythmicity is identified as a key factor in disease pathogenesis. Circadian rhythmicity is controlled at both a transcriptional and post-transcriptional level suggesting the role of microRNA (miRNA) and double-stranded RNA ...

MicroRNAs Regulate Ca2+ Homeostasis in Murine Embryonic Stem Cells
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of embryonic stem cell (ESC) biology, and their study has identified key regulatory mechanisms. To find novel pathways regulated by miRNAs in ESCs, we undertook a bioinformatics analysis of gene pathways ...

Endogenous Mouse Dicer Is an Exclusively Cytoplasmic Protein.
Dicer is a large multi-domain protein responsible for the ultimate step of microRNA and short-interfering RNA biogenesis. In human and mouse cell lines, Dicer has been shown to be important in the nuclear clearance of dsRNA as well as the establishment ...

The cleavage of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules by Dicer is a critical step in silencing genes by the RNA induced silencing complex (RISC). The development of Dicer substrates as nucleic acid–based therapeutics brings about a need to rapidly ...
