Bioinformatic Evaluation of miR-222-3p Specificity in Binding to Genes Involved in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Children

Authors

Abstract:

Background and Objectives: Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer that affects white blood cells. The disease progresses rapidly mandating immediate treatment. ALL is the most common type of leukemia affecting children. An increase in the miR-222-3p molecule has been observed in the course of this disease. The microarray method can be used to examine the binding of this miRNA and target genes, which is not without limitations. Hence, the present study deployed computer and bioinformatics methods with different specialized software. Materials and Methods: Target genes were identified using different algorithms available in Mirbase, TargetScan, NCBI and RNAhybrid databases, and based on the scores obtained, the targets with the highest affinity were identified. Results: The findings of this study showed that the CDH4, AJAP1, HNRNPA0, UBN1 and ZNF618 genes are potential targets with higher specificity for miR-222-3p. Conclusions: Factors involved in selecting targets with high specificity and affinity is dependent on the amount of negative free energy and the number of base pairs formed between miRNA and 3'-UTR of different genes.

Down-regulation of miR-193b-3p and miR-376a-3p in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Background: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common adult human leukemia. Studies revealed that microRNAs (miRNAs) can function as oncogenes or tumor suppressors in CLL and that the expression of miRNAs, such as miR-193b-3p and miR-376a-3p change in several diseases. We aimed to elucidate the changes in miR-193b-3p and miR-376a-3p expression in CLL and determine their potential as...

Circulating miR-193b-3p and miR-376a-3p Involved in Iranian Patients with Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease that affects the central nervous system. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that are usually 18-24 nucleotides long, which may have a pivotal role in the expansion of many complex diseases. The objective of this study was to evaluate the transcript levels of miR-193b-3p and miR-376a-3p in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) ...

Evaluation of Immunoglobulin-A Level in Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common type of leukemia among children. Immunoglobulin A is the most numerous immunoglobulin isotype in mucosal secretion.  Immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency can increase risk of cancer in patients. Since few studies have been done on relation between serum IgA and ALL, this study was attempted to evaluate serum IgA in ALL patients...

Brain MRI Findings in Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Background: Patients with leukemia are facing more complications in order to achieve longer survival. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of central nervous system abnormalities (CNS) on MRI of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods: Sixty-six children with diagnosis of ALL aged 2-18 years were recruited. Non-contrast sequences of brain MRI in addition to diffusion weighted i...
