micrornas that target rgs5
نویسندگان
چکیده
objective(s):an earlier meta-analysis on gene expression data derived from four microarray, two cdna library, and one sage experiment had identified rgs5 as one of only ten non-housekeeping genes that were reported to be expressed in human trabecular meshwork (tm) cells by all studies. rgs5 encodes regulator of g-protein signaling-5. the tm tissue is the route of aqueous fluid outflow, and is relevant to the pathology of glaucoma. micrornas constitute the most recently identified components of the cellular machinery for gene regulation in eukaryotic cells. given our long standing interest in glaucoma, we aimed to identify mirnas that may target rgs5. materials and methods: eight mirnas were selected for study using bioinformatics tools and available data on mirnas expressed in the eye. their effects were assessed using the dual luciferase assay. 3'-utr segments of rgs5 mrna were cloned downstream of a luciferase coding gene in psicheck2 vectors, and these were co-transfected with each of the mirnas into hek293 cells. results: the outcomes evidenced that one or more of the segments are in fact targeted by mir-7, mir-9, mir-96, mir-23a, mir-23b, mir-204, and mir-211. down regulations by the mirnas were statistically significant. the effect of mir-204 is considered particularly important as this mirna is well known to regulate eye development and to affect multiple ocular functions. conclusion: our results justify further studies on regulation of rgs5 expression and rgs5 downstream functions by these mirnas.

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 کاملLAT-derived microRNAs in HSV-1 target SMAD3 and SMAD4 in TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway
Background: During its latent infection, HSV-1 produces only a miRNA precursor called LAT, which encodes six distinct miRNAs. Recent studies have suggested that some of these miRNAs could target cellular mRNAs. One of the key cell signaling pathways that can be affected by HSV-1 is the TGF-β/Smad pathway. Herein, we investigated the potential role of the LAT as well as three LAT-derived miRNAs ...
متن کاملMicroRNAs that interfere with RNAi
A recent study by Massirer et al. in the nematode C. elegans has shown that a family of microRNAs (miRNAs), miR-35-41, regulates the efficiency of RNA interference (RNAi), revealing a new connection between these small RNA pathways. In this commentary, we discuss the potential mechanisms for cross regulation in the miRNA and RNAi pathways and the implications for gene expression. While miRNAs a...
متن کاملThe Diversification of Plant NBS-LRR Defense Genes Directs the Evolution of MicroRNAs That Target Them
High expression of plant nucleotide binding site leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) defense genes is often lethal to plant cells, a phenotype perhaps associated with fitness costs. Plants implement several mechanisms to control the transcript level of NBS-LRR defense genes. As negative transcriptional regulators, diverse miRNAs target NBS-LRRs in eudicots and gymnosperms. To understand the evolution...
