Targeting microRNAs in obesity.
Obesity is a serious health problem worldwide associated with an increased risk of life-threatening diseases such as type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and certain types of cancer. Fundamental for the development of novel therapeutics for obesity and its associated metabolic syndromes is an understanding of the regulation of fat cell development. Recent computational and experimental studies hav...
متن کاملTargeting MicroRNAs for Personalized Cancer Therapy
and CD24 –/lo have aberrant expression of miRNAs and much greater self-renewal activity, proliferation and tumor initiation than other cancer cells. The high expression of miR-21, miR-181a and miR-181b has been observed in breast CSCs; however, these cells express very low levels of let-7, miR-34, miR-200, miR-29, miR-30a and miR-93. Similar to breast CSCs, prostate CSCs express a very low leve...
متن کاملTargeting microRNAs in heart failure.
MicroRNAs play pivotal roles in cardiac disease, and their therapeutic modulation raises exciting and unique opportunities, as well as challenges in the path toward clinical development and implementation. In this review, we provide a detailed overview of recent studies highlighting the important role of microRNAs in heart failure (HF) and the potential use of microRNA-based technology for diag...
متن کاملMicroRNAs--targeting and target prediction.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small noncoding RNAs that can regulate many genes by base pairing to sites in mRNAs. The functionality of miRNAs overlaps that of short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and many features of miRNA targeting have been revealed experimentally by studying miRNA-mimicking siRNAs. This review outlines the features associated with animal miRNA targeting and describes curren...
متن کاملTargeting MicroRNAs in Cancer Gene Therapy
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a kind of conserved small non-coding RNAs that participate in regulating gene expression by targeting multiple molecules. Early studies have shown that the expression of miRNAs changes significantly in different tumor tissues and cancer cell lines. It is well acknowledged that such variation is involved in almost all biological processes, including cell proliferation, mob...
