Regulatory effect of 3'-tRF-PheGAA on Ang Ⅱ-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and its mechanism [PDF]
Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of 3'-tRF-PheGAA on angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ)-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and its mechanism. Methods Primary cardiomyocytes of neonatal mice were obtained and cultured for 24 h, and were then divided into ...

Identification of Small-Molecule Inhibitors of the HuR/RNA Interaction Using a Fluorescence Polarization Screening Assay Followed by NMR Validation. [PDF]
The human antigen R (HuR) stabilizes many mRNAs of proto-oncogene, transcription factors, cytokines and growth factors by recognizing AU-rich elements (AREs) presented in their 3' or 5' untranslated region (UTR).

West Nile virus encodes a microRNA-like small RNA in the 3' untranslated region which up-regulates GATA4 mRNA and facilitates virus replication in mosquito cells [PDF]
West Nile virus (WNV) belongs to a group of medically important single-stranded, positive-sense RNA viruses causing deadly disease outbreaks around the world. The 3' untranslated region (3'-UTR) of the flavivirus genome, in particular the terminal 3' stem-loop (3'SL) fulfils multiple functions in virus replication and virus-host interactions. Using the

Staufen Negatively Modulates MicroRNA Activity in Caenorhabditis elegans
The double-stranded RNA-binding protein Staufen has been implicated in various posttranscriptional gene regulatory processes. Here, we demonstrate that the Caenorhabditis elegans homolog of Staufen, STAU-1, functionally interacts with microRNAs.

Euchromatic transposon insertions trigger production of novel Pi- and endo-siRNAs at the target sites in the drosophila germline. [PDF]
The control of transposable element (TE) activity in germ cells provides genome integrity over generations. A distinct small RNA-mediated pathway utilizing Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) suppresses TE expression in gonads of metazoans.

Regulatory effect of 5'tRF-LysCTT on ferroptosis in mouse cardiomyocytes and its mechanism [PDF]
Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of tRNA-derived small RNA (tsRNA) on ferroptosis in mouse cardiomyocytes and its mechanism. Methods RT-qPCR was used to measure the relative expression level of 5'tRF-LysCTT in the heart, liver, spleen ...

Transcriptional Riboswitches Integrate Timescales for Bacterial Gene Expression Control
Transcriptional riboswitches involve RNA aptamers that are typically found in the 5′ untranslated regions (UTRs) of bacterial mRNAs and form alternative secondary structures upon binding to cognate ligands.
