About miRNAs, miRNA seeds, target genes and target pathways
miRNAs are typically repressing gene expression by binding to the 3' UTR, leading to degradation of the mRNA. This process is dominated by the eight-base seed region of the miRNA. Further, miRNAs are known not only to target genes but also to target significant parts of pathways. A logical line of thoughts is: miRNAs with similar (seed) sequence target similar sets of genes and thus similar set...
متن کاملmiRNA target enrichment analysis reveals directly active miRNAs in health and disease
microRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding regulatory RNA molecules. The activity of a miRNA in a biological process can often be reflected in the expression program that characterizes the outcome of the activity. We introduce a computational approach that infers such activity from high-throughput data using a novel statistical methodology, called minimum-mHG (mmHG), that examines mutual enrichmen...
متن کاملSequence-dependent off-target inhibition of TLR7/8 sensing by synthetic microRNA inhibitors
Anti-microRNA (miRNA) oligonucleotides (AMOs) with 2'-O-Methyl (2'OMe) residues are commonly used to study miRNA function and can achieve high potency, with low cytotoxicity. Not withstanding this, we demonstrate the sequence-dependent capacity of 2'OMe AMOs to inhibit Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7 and 8 sensing of immunostimulatory RNA, independent of their miRNA-targeting function. Through a scr...
متن کاملA Computational Approach to Identifying miRNAs Implicated in Drosophila Neurodevelopment
miRNAs are known to regulate many aspects of neurodevelopment. They participate at different stages of this process from early embryogenesis to adult stage. Their various and specific functions begin to be unraveled in many model systems. Important part of neurogenesis, which generates mature neurons from progenitor cells, is the nerve growth and the formation of synapses. As they underlie the ...
متن کاملA single anti-microRNA antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotide (AMO) targeting multiple microRNAs offers an improved approach for microRNA interference
Anti-miRNA antisense inhibitors (AMOs) have demonstrated their utility in miRNA research and potential in miRNA therapy. Here we report a modified AMO approach in which multiple antisense units are engineered into a single unit that is able to simultaneously silence multiple-target miRNAs, the multiple-target AMO or MTg-AMO. We validated the technique with two separate MTg-AMOs: anti-miR-21/ant...
