Metazoan MicroRNAs [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2018
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ∼22 nt RNAs that direct posttranscriptional repression of mRNA targets in diverse eukaryotic lineages. In humans and other mammals, these small RNAs help sculpt the expression of most mRNAs. This article reviews advances in our understanding of the defining features of metazoan miRNAs and their biogenesis, genomics, and evolution.

MicroRNA Targeting

2021
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding elements that play essential roles in the posttranscriptional regulation of biochemical processes. miRNAs recognize and target multiple mRNAs; therefore, investigating miRNA dysregulation is an indispensable strategy to understand pathological conditions and to design innovative drugs. Targeting miRNAs in diseases

MicroRNAs

The Cancer Journal, 2008
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, noncoding RNAs with regulatory functions, which play an important role in many human diseases, including cancer. An emerging number of studies show that miRNAs can act either as oncogenes or as tumor suppressor genes or sometimes as both. Germline, somatic mutations and polymorphisms can contribute to cancer predisposition.

MicroRNAs Regulating MicroRNAs in Cancer

Trends in Cancer, 2018
MicroRNAs (miRNA) are capable of self-regulation, termed miRNA to miRNA interaction. Very little is known about these interactions and their impact on the cellular milieu. We discuss known miRNA to miRNA interactions, potential mechanisms, and their role in cancer.

Cytomegalovirus microRNAs

Virus Genes, 2009
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression at a post-transcriptional level in virtually all eukaryotic organisms and some viruses, particularly herpesviruses. miRNAs are non-immunogenic, stealthy tools for viruses to regulate their as well as host gene expression.

Retroviral microRNAs

Current Opinion in Virology, 2014
Eukaryotic cells and several DNA viruses encode miRNAs to regulate the expression of specific target genes. It has been controversial whether RNA viruses can encode such miRNAs as miRNA excision may lead to cleavage of the viral RNA genome. We will focus on the retrovirus family, HIV-1 in particular, and discuss the production of virus-encoded miRNAs ...

Intronic microRNAs

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2005
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small single-stranded regulatory RNAs capable of interfering with intracellular mRNAs that contain partial complementarity, are useful for the design of new therapies against cancer polymorphism and viral mutation. MiRNA was originally discovered in the intergenic regions of the Caenorhabditis elegans genome as native RNA fragments ...

Circulating microRNAs

Biochemistry (Moscow), 2015
The detection of miRNAs in plasma and other body fluids opened up a fascinating possibility that animal noncoding RNAs can act as extracellular signaling molecules. In this review, we discuss recent progress in the field including the ability of miRNAs to participate in intercellular communication in vitro and in vivo, and the application of ...
