With an estimated life-time prevalence of 15 to 17% and an incapacitating illness in 50% of cases, depressive spectrum disorders represent a heavy public health burden. Despite considerable efforts to underpin the molecular and cellular changes associated with depressive states, a global understanding of the pathophysiology of major depressive ...

The Jun/miR-22/HuR regulatory axis contributes to tumourigenesis in colorectal cancer
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a severe health problem worldwide. Clarifying the mechanisms for the deregulation of oncogenes and tumour suppressors in CRC is vital for its diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and prevention.

Background Aortic dissection (AD) is a rare disease with high mortality for which no effective diagnostic biomarkers are available. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is an important cause of the occurrence and progression of many diseases, but the ...

Systemic lupus erythematosus is a prototypic autoimmune disease characterized by the production of an array of pathogenic autoantibodies, including high-affinity anti-dsDNA IgG antibodies, which play an important role in disease development and progression. Lupus preferentially affects women during their reproductive years. The pathogenesis of lupus is

Circulating microRNA, secreted microRNA and exogenous plant microRNA [PDF]
Dysregulated expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) in various tissues has been associated with a variety of diseases, including cancers. Here we demonstrate that miRNAs are present in the serum and plasma of humans and other animals such as mice, rats, bovine fetuses, calves and horses.

Construction of a mouse model that can be used for tissue-specific EV screening and tracing in vivo
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play an important role in the communication between tissues and cells. However, it is difficult to screen and trace EVs secreted by specific tissues in vivo, which affects the functional study of EVs in certain tissues under ...

A novel and universal method for microRNA RT-qPCR data normalization [PDF]
Gene expression analysis of microRNA molecules is becoming increasingly important. In this study we assess the use of the mean expression value of all expressed microRNAs in a given sample as a normalization factor for microRNA real-time quantitative PCR

AbstractMicroRNAs are endogenously expressed small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the postâtranscriptional level. MicroRNAs have emerged as key regulators of several physiological and pathophysiological processes in the cardiovascular system.

Regulation of Cardiac MicroRNAs by Cardiac MicroRNAs [PDF]
Rationale: MicroRNAs modestly suppress their direct mRNA targets, and these direct effects are amplified by modulation of gene transcription pathways. Consequently, indirect mRNA modulatory effects of microRNAs to increase or decrease mRNAs greatly outnumber direct target suppressions.
