The 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 کاملRegulation by let-7 and lin-4 miRNAs Results in Target mRNA Degradation
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are approximately 22 nucleotide RNAs that negatively regulate the expression of protein-coding genes. In a present model of miRNA function in animals, miRNAs that form imperfect duplexes with their targets inhibit protein expression without affecting mRNA levels. Here, we report that in C. elegans, regulation by the let-7 miRNA results in degradation of its lin-41 target mRNA...
متن کاملA Peroxidase Peroxiredoxin 1-Specific Redox Regulation of the Novel FOXO3 microRNA Target let-7
Precision in redox signaling is attained through posttranslational protein modifications such as oxidation of protein thiols. The peroxidase peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1) regulates signal transduction through changes in thiol oxidation of its cysteines. We demonstrate here that PRDX1 is a binding partner for the tumor suppressive transcription factor FOXO3 that directly regulates the FOXO3 stress res...
متن کاملExpression Analysis of Let-7a miRNA and its Target Gene NRAS in Cytogenetically Normal Family with Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), is a group of heterogeneous disorders of hematopoietic stem cell colonies which is determined by incomplete hematopoiesis in one or more cell lines. The incidence increases with age and it has less been reported among patients under 50 years of age. The commonest form of MDS is sporadic, and familial occurrence of MDS is rare. Patients with familial MDS are young...
متن کاملLin28 and let-7: roles and regulation in liver diseases.
The diagnosis and treatment of liver disease remain a major health concern worldwide because of the diverse etiologies of this disease. For this reason, new therapeutic targets are greatly needed to halt the progression of this damaging disease. Upon initiation of liver injury by viral infection, autoimmune disease or toxin, and/or hepatitis, chronic disease may develop, which can progress to c...
