The majority of human miRNA genes is transcribed by polymerase II and can be classified as class II genes similar to protein-coding genes. Whereas current research on miRNAs has focused on the physiological and pathological functions, the molecular mechanisms underlying their transcriptional regulation are largely unknown. We recently reported that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) alters mature miRNA e...

Although myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R) and its pathological consequences are the leading cause of morbidity mortality worldwide, cardioprotective therapeutics still not on market. Oxidative stress, a major contributing factor to I/R, changes transcription coding non-coding RNAs, alters post-transcriptional modulations, regulate protein function. MicroRNA (miRNA) expression can be...

objective(s):micrornas (mirnas) are small non-coding rna molecules that regulate gene expression. they have important roles in kidney development, homeostasis and disease, and participate in the onset and progression of tubulointerstitial sclerosis and end-stage glomerular lesions that occur in various forms of chronic kidney disease (ckd). in the present study, we elucidated the role of micror...

Rat models of focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury were established by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. Microarray analysis showed that 24 hours after cerebral ischemia, there were nine up-regulated and 27 down-regulated microRNA genes in cortical tissue. Bioinformatic analysis showed that bcl-2 was the target gene of microRNA-384-5p and microRNA-494, and caspase-3 was the target ...

Abstract The paper discusses four motifs of the king in 4 QMMT : (1) blessings and curses history monarchy (C 18–20); (2) call to reflect on deeds kings Israel 23b–24); (3) study writings related King David 10); (4) David’s 25–26). analysis these leads conclusion that they were not only intended show addressee as role models, but by intertwining them with quotations from Book Deuteronomy, also ...

Mature microRNA is a crucial component in the gene expression regulation network. At the same time, microRNA gene expression and procession is regulated in a precise and collaborated way. Pre-microRNAs mediate products during the microRNA transcription process, they can provide hints of microRNA gene expression regulation or can serve as alternative biomarkers. To date, little effort has been d...


 Purpose: Breast cancer has over the years been one of major acute carcinomas in women. This study investigated fundamental mechanistic functions lncRNA-NEAT1/miR-148a-3p/Wnt/β-catenin axis moderating cell viability, apoptosis and autophagy Cancer (BC).
 Methods: RT-qPCR measured expression lncRNA NEAT1 microRNA-148a-3p human lines for Cancer. Cell transfection upregulated or silence...

We established microRNA profiles from active and inactive multiple sclerosis lesions. Using laser capture microdissection from multiple sclerosis lesions to pool single cells and in vitro cultures, we assigned differentially expressed microRNA to specific cell types. Astrocytes contained all 10 microRNA that were most strongly upregulated in active multiple sclerosis lesions, including microRNA...

Using microRNA array analyses of in vitro HIV-1-infected CD4(+) cells, we find that several host microRNAs are significantly up- or downregulated around the time HIV-1 infection peaks in vitro. While microRNA-223 levels were significantly enriched in HIV-1-infected CD4(+)CD8(-) PBMCs, microRNA-29a/b, microRNA-155 and microRNA-21 levels were significantly reduced. Based on the potential for micr...
