MicroRNA-206: a Promising Theranostic Marker
MicroRNAs (miRs) are small non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression by binding to the 3` untranslated regions (3`UTR) of their target mRNAs. MiRs were shown to play pivotal roles in tissue development and function and are also involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases including cancer. MicroRNA-206, which belongs to the group of so-called "myomiRs", is one of the most stu...
متن کاملMicroRNA-206: the skeletal muscle-specific myomiR.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs involved in post-transcriptional gene silencing. A small number of striated muscle-specific miRNAs have been identified and shown to have an important role in myogenesis, embryonic muscle growth and cardiac function and hypertrophy. One of these myomiRs (myo=muscle+miR=miRNA), miR-206, is unique in that it is only expressed in skeletal muscle. T...
متن کاملIntrinsically fluorescent silica nanocontainers: a promising theranostic platform.
In this paper we describe the preparation of fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) for traceable drug delivery systems. The nanoparticles were prepared following a sol-gel procedure, incorporating a modified perylenediimide dye in the silica structure. Transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy show that the nanoparticles are monodispersed, with a spheroid sh...
متن کاملSmall-Molecule Theranostic Probes: A Promising Future in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative illnesses, which include Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans and scrapie, chronic wasting disease, and bovine spongiform encephalopathy in animals. They are caused by unconventional infectious agents consisting primarily of misfolded, aggregated, β -sheet-rich isoforms, denoted prions, of the physiological cellular prion protein (PrP(C)). Many lines of...
متن کاملAdiponectin: a promising marker for cardiovascular disease.
Obesity is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD). Obese persons have an 1.5to 2.0-fold increased risk for CHD, and between 15% and 20% of all cases of CHD can be attributed to overweight and obesity (1 ). Although hypertension, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes are core components of the metabolic syndrome and are probably key elements in the causal pathway fr...
