Post-transcriptional Regulation of PCSK9 by miR-191, miR-222, and miR-224
Since proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9 (PCSK9) discovery, a gene involved in LDL metabolism regulation and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), many therapeutic strategies have been introduced for direct targeting of PCSK9. The main goal of these strategies has been to reduce PCSK9 protein level either by application of antibodies or inhibition of its production. In this study, we have tried ...
متن کاملSimultaneous regulation of miR-451 and miR-191 led to erythroid fate decision of mouse embryonic stem cell
Objective(s): Various microRNAs (miRNAs) are expressed during development of mammalian cells, when they aid in modulating gene expression by mediating mRNA transcript cleavage and/or regulation of translation rate. miR-191 and miR-451 have been shown to be critical regulators of hematopoiesis and have important roles in the induction of erythroid fate decision. So, the aim of this study is inve...
متن کاملPost-transcriptional regulation of alpha-synuclein expression by mir-7 and mir-153.
Genetic and biochemical studies have established a central role for alpha-synuclein accumulation in the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease. Here, two microRNAs, namely mir-7 and mir-153, have been identified to regulate alpha-synuclein levels post-transcriptionally. These microRNAs bind specifically to the 3'-untranslated region of alpha-synuclein and down-regulate its mRNA and protein levels, w...
متن کاملPost-transcriptional Regulation of BRCA2 through Interactions with miR-19a and miR-19b
Breast cancer type 2, early onset susceptibility gene (BRCA2) is a major component of the homologous recombination DNA repair pathway. It acts as a tumor suppressor whose function is often lost in cancers. Patients with specific mutations in the BRCA2 gene often display discrete clinical, histopathological, and molecular features. However, a subset of sporadic cancers has wild type BRCA2 and di...
متن کاملPost-transcriptional regulation of miR-27 in murine cytomegalovirus infection.
In mammals, microRNAs (miRNAs) can play diverse roles in viral infection through their capacity to regulate both host and viral genes. Recent reports have demonstrated that specific miRNAs change in expression level upon infection and can impact viral production and infectivity. It is clear that miRNAs are an integral component of viral-host interactions, and it is likely that both host and vir...
