Cardiovascular extracellular microRNAs: emerging diagnostic markers and mechanisms of cell-to-cell RNA communication
Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Western societies. It is now well established that microRNAs (miRNAs) are determinant regulators in various medical conditions including cardiovascular diseases. The recent discovery that miRNAs, while associated with different carriers, can be exported out of the cell, has triggered a renewed interest to analyze the pote...
متن کاملTrash or Treasure: extracellular microRNAs and cell-to-cell communication
Circulating RNAs in human body fluids are promising candidates for diagnostic purposes. However, the biological significance of circulating RNAs remains elusive. Recently, small non-coding RNAs, microRNAs (miRNAs), were isolated from multiple human body fluids, and these "circulating miRNAs" have been implicated as novel disease biomarkers. Concurrently, miRNAs were also identified in the extra...
متن کاملCell‐to‐cell communication: microRNAs as hormones
Mammalian cells can release different types of extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies. Accumulating evidence suggests that EVs play a role in cell-to-cell communication within the tumor microenvironment. EVs' components, such as proteins, noncoding RNAs [microRNAs (miRNAs), and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs)], messenger RNAs (mRNAs), DNA, and lipids...
متن کاملExtracellular Vesicles as an Emerging Paradigm of Cell-to-Cell Communication in Stem Cell Biology
Cell-to-cell communication is the fundamental mechanism that enables multicellular organisms to maintain tissue homeostasis and normal cellular functions. Recent studies have demonstrated that extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes and microvesicles, may act as a crucial mediator of intercellular communication. It is well-established that EVs are small membrane vesicles secreted from ...
متن کاملExtracellular microRNAs from the epididymis as potential mediators of cell-to-cell communication
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) was previously thought to remain inside cells as an intermediate between genes and proteins during translation. However, it is now estimated that 98% of the mammalian genomic output is transcribed as noncoding RNAs, which are involved in diverse gene expression regulatory mechanisms and can be transferred from one cell to another through extracellular communication. For i...
