Microrna let-7: an emerging next-generation cancer therapeutic
In recent years, various RNA-based technologies have been under evaluation as potential next-generation cancer therapeutics. Micrornas (miRNAS), known to regulate the cell cycle and development, are deregulated in various cancers. Thus, they might serve as good targets or candidates in an exploration of anticancer therapeutics. One attractive candidate for this purpose is let-7 ("lethal-7"). Le...
متن کاملMicroRNA let-7a: a novel therapeutic candidate in prostate cancer
The above‑described results demonstrate a genetic association between let‑7a and PCa, supporting a potential role for let‑7a in human PCa. A recent study showed that let‑7a remained to significantly discriminate normal tissues from PCa patients from those of the cancer negative control group with elevated prostate‑specific antigen levels (P < 0.05). 8 In any case, reduced transcription patterns...
متن کاملEvolution of the let-7 microRNA Family
The increase of bodyplan complexity in early bilaterian evolution is correlates with the advent and diversification of microRNAs. These small RNAs guide animal development by regulating temporal transitions in gene expression involved in cell fate choices and transitions between pluripotency and differentiation. One of the two known microRNAs whose origins date back before the bilaterian ancest...
متن کاملThe primary target of let-7 microRNA.
The let-7 miRNA (microRNA) is an essential regulator of development from nematode worms to humans. Altered expression of let-7 results in larval arrest or lethality in Caenorhabditis elegans. Likewise, under- or over-expression of let-7 in human cells can result in cellular overproliferation or halted cell division respectively. Thus the biogenesis of this critical miRNA is controlled at multip...
متن کاملmicroRNA Therapeutics in Cancer — An Emerging Concept
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an evolutionarily conserved class of small, regulatory non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate protein coding gene and other non-coding transcripts expression. miRNAs have been established as master regulators of cellular processes, and they play a vital role in tumor initiation, progression and metastasis. Further, widespread deregulation of microRNAs have been reported...
