Epigenetic alteration and microRNA dysregulation in cancer
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play pivotal roles in numerous biological processes, and their dysregulation is a common feature of human cancer. Thanks to recent advances in the analysis of the cancer epigenome, we now know that epigenetic alterations, including aberrant DNA methylation and histone modifications, are major causes of miRNA dysregulation in cancer. Moreover, the list of miRNA genes silenced ...
متن کاملMicroRNA dysregulation as a prognostic biomarker in colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most potentially curable cancers, yet it remains the fourth most common overall cause of cancer death worldwide. The identification of robust molecular prognostic biomarkers can refine the conventional tumor-node-metastasis staging system, avoid understaging of tumor, and help pinpoint patients with early-stage CRC who may benefit from aggressive treatments...
متن کاملZinc intake, microRNA dysregulation, and esophageal cancer
(ESCC) is a deadly disease with a 5-year survival of only 10% [1]. Because of the absence of early symptoms, ESCC is commonly diagnosed at an advanced stage. Thus, the development of new prevention and therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Dietary zinc (Zn) deficiency (ZD), a significant public health issue affecting 31% of the global population [2], is associated with an increased risk o...
متن کاملMicroRNA dysregulation in schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder that involves disturbances in neural circuitry and synaptic function. The exquisite network architecture and capacity for discreet post-synaptic remodeling of neurons requires coordination by an elaborate intracellular network of molecular signal transduction systems. The redundancy of these networks means that many combinations of gene varia...
متن کاملDysregulation of microRNA biogenesis and gene silencing in cancer.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that suppress the abundance of partially complementary mRNAs and inhibit their translation. Each miRNA can regulate hundreds of mRNAs, sometimes strongly but often weakly, to mediate a diverse array of biological functions, including proliferation, cell signaling, differentiation, stress responses and DNA repair, cell adhesion and motility, inflammati...
