Effects of microRNAs polymorphism in cancer progression
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known as a new class of small RNAs (18-25 nucleotides) that regulate gene expression at multiple levels from transcription to translation. Considering the important role of miRNAs in cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, any variations in their expression can contribute to various anomalies, such as tumorigenesis. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have ...
متن کاملMicroRNAs in Human Malignant Gliomas
MicroRNA (miRNA) is a new class of small noncoding RNA molecules that regulate a wide spectrum of gene expression in a posttranscriptional manner. MiRNAs play crucial roles in tumorigenesis, angiogenesis, invasion, and apoptosis for various types of tumor. Recent studies have identified dysregulation of specific miRNAs in malignant gliomas. Global expression profiling of miRNAs has revealed sev...
متن کاملMicroRNAs in normal and malignant myelopoiesis.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding protein, single-stranded RNA of 18-22 nucleotides, that exert their actions at post-transcriptional level, mostly through base pairing with the 3'-untranslated region of the target mRNA, thus leading to its translational repression and/or degradation. Recent studies have shown that miRNAs play a crucial role in normal hematopoiesis through the contro...
متن کاملEmerging Roles of microRNAs in Malignant Neuroblastoma
Discovery of microRNAs (miRNAs) as negative regulators of gene expression at post-transcriptional level has revealed a new layer of finest regulation of cell signaling mechanisms in normal development and abnormal growth. The pathogenesis in most of the tumors including malignant neuroblastoma, a childhood malignancy in most cases, is now known to be linked to aberrant expression of a wide rang...
متن کاملOncogenic MicroRNAs: Key Players in Malignant Transformation.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a class of non-coding RNAs that exert pivotal roles in the regulation of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. MiRNAs are involved in many biological processes and slight modulations in their expression have been correlated with the occurrence of different diseases. In particular, alterations in the expression of miRNAs with oncogenic or tumor suppresso...
