Regulation of viral oncogenesis by microRNAs
Viral infection may play a causative role in human cancers, for example hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) in liver cancer, human papilloma virus (HPV) in cervical cancer, and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Virally infected cells express viral-encoded genes that are critical for oncogenesis. Some viruses also encode microRNA (miRNA) species. miRNAs are sma...
متن کاملIntronic microRNAs: a crossroad in gene regulation.
Most human genes transcribed by RNA Pol II (polymerase II) contain short exons separated by long tracts of non-coding intronic sequences. In addition to their role in generating proteomic diversity through the process of alternative splicing, intronic sequences host many ncRNAs (non-coding RNAs), involved in various gene regulation processes. miRNAs (microRNAs) are short ncRNAs that mediate eit...
متن کاملmicrornas and asthma regulation.
micrornas participate in the regulation of asthma, the goal of this study is to summarize recent researches on the roles of micrornas in the pathogenesis of asthma. a review of the english medical literatures was conducted by searching pubmed for studies concerning asthma and micrornas. the results of the present study indicate that micrornas play important roles in regulating asthma immune res...
متن کاملMicroRNAs: Synthesis, Gene Regulation and Osteoblast Differentiation.
The central dogma of transfer of genetic information from DNA to protein via mRNA is now challenged by small fragment of non coding RNAs typically 19-25 nucleotides in length namely microRNAs (miRNAs). miRNAs regulate expression of the protein coding genes by interfering in their mRNAs and, thus, act as key regulators of diverge cellular activities. Osteoblast differentiation, a key step in ske...
متن کاملMicroRNAs in Gene Regulation: When the Smallest Governs It All
Encoded by the genome of most eukaryotes examined so far, microRNAs (miRNAs) are small approximately 21-nucleotide (nt) noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) derived from a biosynthetic cascade involving sequential processing steps executed by the ribonucleases (RNases) III Drosha and Dicer. Following their recent identification, miRNAs have rapidly taken the center stage as key regulators of gene expression...
