MicroRNA with a MacroFunction [PDF]

open access: yesCell Cycle, 2007
With the advent of microRNA (miRNA) we are compelled to revise our understanding of the mechanisms underlying gene regulation during health and disease. A miRNA is approximately 21 ribonucleotides-long, genetically encoded, with a potential to recognize multiple mRNA targets guided by sequence complementarity and RNA-binding proteins.

Small RNA pathways in mammalian oocytes

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Three distinct small RNA pathways operate in mammalian oocytes: RNAi interference (RNAi), the microRNA (miRNA) pathway, and the PIWI‐associated RNA (piRNA) pathway. These pathways use small RNAs to guide sequence‐specific repression and contribute to oocyte biology by targeting genes and mobile elements or appear insignificant since different ...

The functions and applications of extracellular vesicles miRNAs in adverse pregnancy [PDF]

open access: yesExRNA
During pregnancy, the maintenance of maternal health and fetal development is finely regulated by various factors. Adverse pregnancy can lead to pregnancy complications, premature birth, malformations, and congenital diseases in the fetus.

Hyperosmotic stress‐induced redistribution of pre‐mRNA cleavage factor I subunits is associated with shifts in alternative polyadenylation

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Hyperosmotic stress triggers the relocation of the CFIm complex from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. This shift creates a nuclear ‘stoichiometric bottleneck’, limiting CFIm availability for mRNA processing. Consequently, specific mRNAs like NUDT21 and DICER1 undergo targeted 3′UTR shortening, demonstrating how spatial protein dynamics drive rapid ...

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

microRNAs in the control of lymphocytes response [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Recently, it has become evident the importance of miRNAs in regulating immune response, as well as immune cell development. During my phD fellow I focused my attention on the relationship B-lymphocytes-microRNA; in particular I examined two the different

MicroRNAs in atherosclerosis

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2012
AbstractMicroRNAs are endogenously expressed small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the post‐transcriptional level. MicroRNAs have emerged as key regulators of several physiological and pathophysiological processes in the cardiovascular system.

Accurate and noninvasive prostate cancer detection using plasma‐derived extracellular vesicle RNA

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Plasma extracellular vesicles were captured with WGA‐conjugated magnetic beads and profiled for RNA biomarkers. A three‐RNA panel (NM_024955, NR_047469, and NR_002564) distinguished prostate cancer from healthy controls and benign prostatic hyperplasia, supporting a simple, noninvasive approach to improve prostate cancer detection.

Protocol for quantifying miRNA trafficking across the endosomal membrane

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
An in vitro protocol measures miRNA uptake into endosomes isolated from mammalian cell extracts, which are free of subcellular contaminants. Performed at 37 °C in the presence of ATP, it ensures the import of single‐stranded miRNA into the endosomal lumen.
