چکیده

MicroRNAs are small noncoding RNA species, some of which are playing important roles in cell differentiation. However, the level of participations of microRNAs in epithelial cell differentiation is largely unknown. Here, utilizing an epithelial differentiation model with T84 cells, we demonstrate that miR-338-3p and miR-451 contribute to the formation of epithelial basolateral polarity by facilitating translocalization of beta1 integrin to the basolateral membrane. Among 250 microRNAs screened in this study, the expression levels of four microRNAs (miR-33a, 210, 338-3p and 451) were significantly elevated in the differentiated stage of T84 cells, when epithelial cell polarity was established. To investigate the involvement of these microRNAs in terms of epithelial cell polarity, we executed loss-of- and gain-of-function analyses of these microRNAs. The blockade of endogenous miR-338-3p or miR-451 via each microRNA-specific antisense oligonucleotides inhibited the translocalization of beta1 integrin to the basolateral membrane, whereas inhibition of miR-210 or miR-33a had no effect on it. On the other hand, simultaneous transfection of synthetic miR-338-3p and miR-451 accelerated the translocalization of beta1 integrin to the basolateral membrane, although the introduction of individual synthetic microRNAs exhibited no effect. Therefore, we concluded that both miR-338-3p and miR-451 are necessary for the development of epithelial cell polarity.

MicroRNA-338-3p inhibits glucocorticoid-induced osteoclast formation through RANKL targeting.

The differentiation deficiencies of osteoclast precursors (pre-OCs) may contribute to osteoporosis. Research on osteoporosis has recently focused on microRNAs (miRNAs) that play crucial roles in pre-OC differentiation. In the current study, we aimed to analyze the expression and function of the glucocorticoid (GC)-associated miRNA-338-3p (miR-338-3p) in osteoclast formation. We found that dexam...

Abstract Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, non-coding short RNAs (~22 nt) that can downregulate gene expression by translational repression, mRNA degradation, or transcriptional repression. miRNA misregulation has been implicated in pathogenic alterations such as cancer. In order to investigate microRNA functions in gene regulation and/or to modulate their expression in pathogenic...

Objective(s): Growing evidences have indicated microRNAs as modulators of tumor development and aggression. On the other hand, a phenomenon known as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) that indicates a transient phase from epithelial-like features to mesenchymal phenotype is a key player in tumor progression.  In this study, we aimed to assess the potential impacts...
