Secreted miRNAs in the tripartite neuromuscular junction [PDF]
ExRNA, 2019 microRNAs are small, non-coding, single-stranded RNAs that can suppress mRNA translation at the posttranscriptional level by binding to imperfect complementary sequences on mRNA targets and then cause their degradation or hinder protein translation ...

Initial function of microRNAs as a defence mechanism against invading organisms [PDF]
ExRNA, 2019 Background: Although microRNA (miRNA) regulation is widely considered as a mechanism to regulate gene expression in metazoans, plants and viruses, there are recent reports that show the interaction between viruses and their mammal hosts via miRNAs ...

Tumor-specific delivery of KRAS siRNA with iRGD-exosomes efficiently inhibits tumor growth [PDF]
ExRNA, 2019 Lung cancer is the major cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Mutant KRAS is a feature of 15–50% of lung cancer cases and represents one of the most prevalent oncogenic drivers in this disease.

Co-targeting of EGFR by co-expressed miRNA-193a-3p/−5p in lung cancer [PDF]
ExRNA, 2019 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) function as important oncogenes or tumor suppressors in each stage of cancer development. While previous studies focused on the individual miRNA and its specific target gene, the cooperative functions of miRNA-3p and miRNA-5p (miRNA-3p/

In vivo self-assembled siRNA as a modality for combination therapy of ulcerative colitis
Nature Communications, 2022 Management of ulcerative colitis can require a combination of treatments targeting different pathways. Here the authors design a therapy for ulcerative colitis based on a multitargeted genetic circuit to simultaneously target TNF-α, B7-1 and integrin α4,

Biogenesis and function of extracellular miRNAs [PDF]
ExRNA, 2019 Mature microRNAs (miRNAs) are 18–24-nucleotide non-coding RNAs with post-transcriptional regulatory functions and have been documented as an essential cornerstone of the genetic system.

Serum microRNA Profiles Serve as Novel Biomarkers for Autoimmune Diseases
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Autoimmune diseases involve a complex dysregulation of immunity. Autoimmune diseases include many members [e.g., rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)], and most of them are classified according to what organs and tissues are ...

Extracellular and intracellular microRNAs in pancreatic cancer: from early diagnosis to reducing chemoresistance [PDF]
ExRNA, 2019 Pancreatic cancer (PaC) is one of the most aggressive malignancies. The dismal survival rate of PaC patients is mainly due to the late diagnosis and their resistance to conventional chemotherapies.
