Primate microRNAs miR-220 and miR-492 lie within processed pseudogenes.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a new and abundant class of small, noncoding RNAs. To date, the evolutionary history of most of these loci appears to be marked by duplication and divergence. The ultimate origin of miRNAs remains an open question. A survey of the genomic context of more than 300 human miRNA loci revealed that two primate-specific miRNAs, miR-220 and miR-492, each lie within a processed p...
متن کاملCirculating microRNAs, miR-939, miR-595, miR-519d and miR-494, Identify Cirrhotic Patients with HCC
The performance of circulating biomarkers for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is sub-optimal. In this study we tested circulating microRNAs as biomarkers for HCC in cirrhotic patients by performing a two stage study: a discovery phase conducted by microarray and a validation phase performed by qRT-PCR in an independent series of 118 patients. Beside miRNAs emerged from the disco...
متن کاملMicroRNAs miR-19, miR-340, miR-374 and miR-542 regulate MID1 protein expression
The MID1 ubiquitin ligase activates mTOR signaling and regulates mRNA translation. Misregulation of MID1 expression is associated with various diseases including midline malformation syndromes, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. While this indicates that MID1 expression must be tightly regulated to prevent disease states specific mechanisms involved have not been identified. We examined miR...
متن کاملLack of association between miR-27a, miR-146a, miR-196a-2, miR-492 and miR-608 gene polymorphisms and colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide with high mortality rates. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have an established role in the development of different cancers. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA related genes were linked with various gastrointestinal malignancies. However, the data on association between miRNA SNPs and CRC development are inconsistent. The aim o...
متن کاملMicroRNAs and heart failure diagnosis: MiR-acle or MiR-age?
Heart disease is the greatest noninfectious health hazard ever to confront the human race. It is the leading cause of death in industrialized nations, and, accordingly, it is responsible for a huge economic burden to society. It is estimated that 5 million Americans have heart failure (HF), a syndrome with mortality of approximately 50% at 5 years.1 Now, evidence indicates that the epidemic of ...
