Targeting MicroRNA Function in Respiratory Diseases: Mini-Review
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that modulate expression of the majority of genes by inhibiting protein translation. Growing literature has identified functional roles for miRNAs across a broad range of biological processes. As such, miRNAs are recognized as potential disease biomarkers and novel targets for therapies. While several miRNA-targeted therapies are currently i...
متن کاملA mini-review: microRNA in arthritis.
MicroRNA (miRNA) is a class of noncoding RNA that exhibits tissue- or developmental stage-specific expression patterns and negatively regulates gene expression. MiRNAs play an important role in human diseases, including osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). OA is characterized by the progressive destruction of articular cartilage, and several miRNAs exhibit altered expression, play...
متن کاملA Mini-Review: MicroRNA in Tendon Injuries
Tendon injury is a difficult clinical problem. Till now, the basic cell biology of tendons is still not fully understood and the management of tendon injury poses a considerable challenge for clinicians. Endogenous microRNAs are short noncoding RNA molecules which can negatively regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. The regulatory role of miRNA has well been studied in man...
متن کاملMicroRNA Function in Human Diseases
MicroRNAs are emerging as a hot topic in research, and rightfully so. They show great promise as targets of treatment and as markers for common human diseases, such as cancer and metabolic diseases. In this review, we address some of the basic questions regarding microRNA function in human disease and the clinical significance of microRNAs. Specifically, microRNAs in epigenetics, cancer, and me...
متن کاملTargeting MicroRNA Function in Acute Pancreatitis
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common gastrointestinal disorder that featured by acute inflammatory responses leading to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) or multiple organ failure. A worldwide increase in annual incidence has been observed during the past decade with high acute hospitalization and mortality. Lack of any specific treatment for AP, even to this day, is a reminder that...
