A review of the literature on obesity-related chronic kidney disease: a molecular description of gene susceptibility to polymorphisms, noncoding RNAs, and pathophysiology

Archives of Medical Science
Obesity significantly contributes to the development and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) by inducing metabolic and hemodynamic disturbances that drive gene dysregulation, inflammation, fibrosis, and renal structural injury.

Coordinated actions of microRNAs with other epigenetic factors regulate skeletal muscle development and adaptation [PDF]

, 2017
Epigenetics plays a pivotal role in regulating gene expression in development, in response to cellular stress or in disease states, in virtually all cell types.

Lipopolysaccharide uptake is augmented in lipopolysaccharide‐tolerant mouse macrophage‐like cells via increased CD14 expression

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In normal (nontolerant) cells, CD14 is crucial for both LPS uptake and LPS signaling. In LPS‐tolerant cells, in which LPS‐induced TNF‐α and IFN‐β production is suppressed, there is a dramatic increase in surface CD14 expression. The overexpressed CD14 in LPS‐tolerant cells is responsible for the enhanced LPS uptake without inducing pro‐inflammatory ...

Identification of miRNAs induced by low-dose methylmercury exposure and their roles in inflammatory responses using human aortic endothelial cells

Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine
Background: Exposure to methylmercury (MeHg) is predominantly attributed to consumption of marine products. However, the general population is exposed to low MeHg levels, which can induce chronic inflammation. Although some MeHg-related microRNAs (miRNAs)

MicroRNAs and cancer [PDF]

Journal of Internal Medicine, 2008
Abstract.The Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology was awarded to the RNA interference (RNAi) field in 2006 because of the huge therapeutic potential this technique harbours. However, the RNAi technology is based on a natural mechanism that utilizes short noncoding RNA molecules (microRNAs) to regulate gene expression.

Small RNA pathways in mammalian oocytes

FEBS 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 ...

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

FEBS 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 ...

The interplay between viral-derived miRNAs and host immunity during infection [PDF]

, 2019
MicroRNAs are short non-coding RNAs that play a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression during cellular processes. The host-encoded miRNAs are known to modulate the antiviral defense during viral infection.
