MicroRNAs: Critical Regulators of mRNA Traffic and Translational Control with Promising Biotech and Therapeutic Applications
Context:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short, endogenously-initiated, non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally control gene expression via translational repression or mRNA turnover. MiRNAs have attracted much attention in recent years as they play critical roles in gene expression and are promising tools with many biotech and therapeutic applications. The molecular mechanisms und...
متن کاملMicroRNAs in colorectal cancer: potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant tumors of gastrointestinal tract. The occurrence, development, diagnosis and prognosis have become a hot topic in current clinical research. However, current diagnosis and treatment still depend on the results of tumor imaging or pathology test. Therefore, to reveal the biological pathogenesis of CRC and to discover specific biomarkers...
متن کاملMicroRNAs in Osteoclastogenesis and Function: Potential Therapeutic Targets for Osteoporosis
Abnormal osteoclast formation and resorption play a fundamental role in osteoporosis pathogenesis. Over the past two decades, much progress has been made to target osteoclasts. The existing therapeutic drugs include bisphosphonates, hormone replacement therapy, selective estrogen receptor modulators, calcitonin and receptor activator of nuclear factor NF-κB ligand (RANKL) inhibitor (denosumab),...
متن کاملThe therapeutic potential of microRNAs in heart and vascular diseases
The potential use of microRNAs (miRNAs) to design novel therapeutic approaches in cardiovascular diseases (CVD) has emerged as a promising strategy. miRNAs are small, noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression epigenetically. Increasing evidence suggests that miRNAs operate as regulatory networks that target functionally related genes in physiological and pathological conditions. This propert...
متن کاملmicroRNAs in Spinal Cord Injury: Potential Roles and Therapeutic Implications
microRNAs (miRNAs) are a novel class of small non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. miRNAs can modulate gene expression and thus play important roles in diverse neurobiological processes, such as cell differentiation, growth, proliferation and neural activity, as well as the pathogenic processes of spinal cord injury (SCI) like inflammation,...
