MiR-520d-5p directly targets TWIST1 and downregulates the metastamiR miR-10b
MicroRNAs are key players in most biological processes. Some microRNAs are involved in the genesis of tumors and are therefore termed oncomiRs, while others, termed metastamiRs, play a significant role in the formation of cancer metastases. Previously, we identified ten different cellular microRNAs that downregulate the expression of MICB, a ligand of the activating NK receptor NKG2D. Interesti...
متن کاملEpigenetics of Transcription Factor Twist1 and Cancer
The concept of ‘epigenetics’ is comparatively newer and less known section in ‘biomolecular science. However, this has gained immense interest among modern molecular biologists. This is a field of study, which deals with the changes of genetic expression affecting the cellular phenotypes caused by the modifications of DNA materials other than change of nucleotide sequence. Literally, ‘Epigeneti...
متن کاملMiR-9-5p and miR-106a-5p dysregulated in CD4+ T-cells of multiple sclerosis patients and targeted essential factors of T helper17/regulatory T-cells differentiation
Objective(s): Multiple sclerosis (MS) is considered as a chronic type of an inflammatory disease characterized by loss of myelin of CNS.Recent evidence indicates that Interleukin 17 (IL-17)-producing T helper cells (Th17 cells) population are increased and regulatory T cells (Treg cells) are decreased in MS. Despite extensive research in understanding the mechanism of Th17 and Treg differentiat...
متن کاملThe Oncogenic MicroRNA Hsa-miR-155-5p Targets the Transcription Factor ELK3 and Links It to the Hypoxia Response
The molecular response to hypoxia is a critical cellular process implicated in cancer, and a target for drug development. The activity of the major player, HIF1α, is regulated at different levels by various factors, including the transcription factor ELK3. The molecular mechanisms of this intimate connection remain largely unknown. Whilst investigating global ELK3-chromatin interactions, we unc...
متن کاملLong non-coding RNA XIST exerts oncogenic functions in pancreatic cancer via miR-34a-5p
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in the occurrence and progression of multiple cancers. In the present study, we investigated the role of lncRNA X inactive-specific transcript (XIST) in the development and progression of pancreatic cancer (PC). Firstly, we found that lncRNA XIST was markedly upregulated in PC tissues and PC cell lines, respectively. Overexpression of XIST sig...
