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

Quantitative study of crossregulation, noise and synchronization between microRNA targets in single cells [PDF]
Recent studies reported complex post-transcriptional interplay among targets of a common pool of microRNAs, a class of small non-coding downregulators of gene expression. Behaving as microRNA-sponges, distinct RNA species may compete for binding to microRNAs and coregulate each other in a dose-dependent manner.

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.

Objectives Exosomes are essential mediators of intercellular communication as they transport proteins and RNAs between cells. Owing to their tumor‐targeting capacity, immune compatibility, low toxicity, and long half‐life, mesenchymal stem cell‐derived ...

Co-regulatory network of transcription factor and microrna: A key player of gene regulation
Transcription factor (TF) and microRNA (miRNA) interaction plays a vital role in the regulation of biological networks. TFs and miRNAs control the gene expression: TF at transcriptional level by affecting the messenger RNA (mRNA) transcription and miRNA ...

Clusters of microRNAs emerge by new hairpins in existing transcripts [PDF]
Genetic linkage may result in the expression of multiple products from a polycistronic transcript, under the control of a single promoter. In animals, protein-coding polycistronic transcripts are rare. However, microRNAs are frequently clustered in the genomes of animals, and these clusters are often transcribed as a single unit.

Visceral adiposity is associated with metabolic diseases, whereas subcutaneous adiposity is comparatively benign. Here, the authors report that subcutaneous adipose tissue adopts visceral-like characteristics in response to prolonged fasting, and show ...
