Genomic medicine enters the neurology clinic.
Neurology 2012;79:112–114 Extraordinary advances in genetics and genomics are revolutionizing the practice of medicine. In this issue of Neurology, 3 articles demonstrate the utility of exome sequencing for identifying the genetic cause of neurologic disorders. This issue represents a landmark in neurogenetics: the concurrent publication of 3 such examples highlights the rapidly changing landsc...
متن کاملMicroRNA-Target Binding Structures Mimic MicroRNA Duplex Structures in Humans
Traditionally, researchers match a microRNA guide strand to mRNA sequences using sequence comparisons to predict its potential target genes. However, many of the predictions can be false positives due to limitations in sequence comparison alone. In this work, we consider the association of two related RNA structures that share a common guide strand: the microRNA duplex and the microRNA-target b...
متن کاملA primate-specific microRNA enters the lung cancer landscape.
Characterization of the lung cancer genome through unbiased next-generation sequencing has led to the discovery of new driver somatic mutations (1, 2) and gene fusions (3). Lung cancers show the second highest prevalence of somatic mutations among all cancer types, and a mutation profile that reflects the effect of chronic exposure to tobacco carcinogens, the main risk factor etiologically asso...
متن کاملMicroRNA-122 mimic transfection contributes to apoptosis in HepG2 cells.
There is currently a requirement for effective treatment strategies for human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a leading cause of cancer‑associated mortality. MicroRNA-122 (miR-122), a repressor of the endogenous apoptosis regulator Bcl‑w, is frequently downregulated in HCC. Thus, it is hypothesized that the activation of miR‑122 may induce selective hepatocellular apoptosis via caspase activati...
متن کاملMicroRNA-125b-5p mimic inhibits acute liver failure
The lack of broad-spectrum anti-acute liver failure (ALF) therapeutic agents contributes to ALF-related mortality. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are suggested to be potent serum biomarkers for ALF, but their functional and therapeutic relevance in ALF are unclear. Here we show an unbiased approach, using two complementary miRNA screens, to identify miRNAs that can attenuate ALF. We identify miR-125b-5p as...
