MicroRNA-21 is up-regulated in allergic airway inflammation and regulates IL-12p35 expression.
Allergic airway inflammation is characterized by marked in situ changes in gene and protein expression, yet the role of microRNAs (miRNAs), a new family of key mRNA regulatory molecules, in this process has not yet been reported. Using a highly sensitive microarray-based approach, we identified 21 miRNAs with differential expression between doxycycline-induced lung-specific IL-13 transgenic mic...
متن کاملMicroRNA-21 Down-regulates Rb1 Expression by Targeting PDCD4 in Retinoblastoma
Retinoblastoma (RB) is a children's ocular cancer caused by mutated retinoblastoma 1 (Rb1) gene on both alleles. Rb1 and other related genes could be regulated by microRNAs (miRNA) via complementarily pairing with their target sites. MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) possesses the oncogenic potential to target several tumor suppressor genes, including PDCD4, and regulates tumor progression and metastasis. H...
متن کاملInflammation-associated microRNA-130b down-regulates cytochrome P450 activities and directly targets CYP2C9.
Expression of genes involved in absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of drugs is impaired in pathophysiologic conditions such as cholestasis and inflammation. The mechanisms of ADME gene down-regulation remain unclear. In our previous study, strongly elevated levels of microRNAs (miRNA) miR-21, miR-34a, and miR-130b in cholestatic liver and of miR-21 and miR-130b during in...
متن کاملMicroRNA-21-3p, a Berberine-Induced miRNA, Directly Down-Regulates Human Methionine Adenosyltransferases 2A and 2B and Inhibits Hepatoma Cell Growth
Methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) is the cellular enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), the principal biological methyl donor and a key regulator of hepatocyte proliferation, death and differentiation. Two genes, MAT1A and MAT2A, encode 2 distinct catalytic MAT isoforms. A third gene, MAT2B, encodes a MAT2A regulatory subunit. In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), M...
متن کاملMicroRNA-21 inhibits mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in keloid
MicroRNA-21 acts as an oncogene by promoting cell proliferation and migration, whereas inhibiting apoptosis in majority of cancers. MicroRNA-21 is upregulated in human keloid fibroblasts. We hypothesized that microRNA-21 may contribute to pathogenesis of keloid fibroblasts. First, enhanced miR-21 but reduced mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis observed in keloid tissues indicated its importance in...
