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

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Transient kinetic studies of the antiviral Drosophila Dicer-2 reveal roles of ATP in self–nonself discrimination

open access: yeseLife, 2021
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
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]

open access: yesAdv Sci (Weinh)
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]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
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]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
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

open access: yesCells, 2023
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 ...

DICER-AS1 functions as competing endogenous RNA that targets CSR1 by sponging microRNA-650 and suppresses gastric cancer progression

open access: yesJournal of International Medical Research, 2021
Objective This study explored the functional interactions between the long non-coding RNA DICER-AS1 and the cellular stress response 1 ( CSR1 ) gene in gastric cancer.

Endogenous Mouse Dicer Is an Exclusively Cytoplasmic Protein.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2016
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 ...

Continuous fluorescence-based method for assessing Dicer cleavage efficiency reveals 3′ overhang nucleotide preference

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2010
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 ...
