Differences in vertebrate microRNA expression.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) attenuate gene expression by means of translational inhibition and mRNA degradation. They are abundant, highly conserved, and predicted to regulate a large number of transcripts. Several hundred miRNA classes are known, and many are associated with cell proliferation and differentiation. Many exhibit tissue-specific expression, which aids in evaluating their functions, and it...
متن کاملEvaluation of MicroRNA-99a and MicroRNA-205 Expression Levels in Bladder Cancer
Bladder cancer is the second most common cancer in the genitourinary tract, showing often recurrence and progresse into invasive states. Epigenetic changes, such as microRNA alteration are involved in bladder cancer tumorigenesis through a variety of signaling pathways. The epigenetic state depends on geographic and lifestyle conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression l...
متن کاملTemporal differences in vertebrate microRNA expression
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent an important class of regulatory elements that control vital developmental processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, and growth timing in a tissuedependent manner. miRNAs exhibit a high degree of sequence conservation among vertebrates, implying that their expression is similarly conserved. However, Brandon Ason et al. report that this correlation is no...
متن کاملMicroRNA Interaction network in human: implications of clustered microRNA in biological pathways and genetic diseases
A novel group of small non-coding RNA, known as microRNA (miRNA) is predicted to regulate as high as 90% of the coding genes in human. The diversity and abundance of miRNA targets offer an enormous level of combinatorial possibilities and suggest that miRNAs and their targets form a complex regulatory network. In the present study, we analyzed 711 miRNAs and their 34, 525 predicted targets in t...
متن کاملRacial differences in microRNA and gene expression in hypertensive women
Systemic arterial hypertension is an important cause of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. African Americans are disproportionately affected by hypertension, in fact the incidence, prevalence, and severity of hypertension is highest among African American (AA) women. Previous data suggests that differential gene expression influences individual susceptibility to selected diseases a...
