چکیده
miRNAs are small, non-coding RNAs and of 21-25 nucleotide in size. They negatively regulate protein-coding mRNAs at the post-transcriptional level. miRNAs play very important roles in various biological processes like cell growth, differentiation, and development. Abnormal expressions of miRNAs can lead various diseases including cancer and therefore miRNAs are considered as strong diagnostic and therapeutic candidates for the treatment of human

Aptamer-based Targeted Delivery of miRNA let-7d to Gastric Cancer Cells as a Novel Anti-Tumor Therapeutic Agent
miRNAs as one of the potential therapeutic agents have been recently considered for cancer treatment. AS1411 (aptNCL) is a DNA aptamer specifically binding to nucleolin protein on the cancer cell surface with antiproliferative effect. The aim of the study was to develop a conjugate consisted of aptNCL (as targeted delivery of therapeutic agent) and miRNA let-7d (as a tumor suppressor) using two...

متن کاملMiR-6165 Dysregulation in Breast Cancer and Its Effect on Cell Proliferation and Migration
Background: ncRNAs have been identified as oncogenic drivers and tumor suppressors in any type of cancer. Although many classes of ncRNAs have been reported, most studies have been performed on microRNAs (miRNAs). miRNAs can regulate several target genes and affect important processes such as homeostasis, angiogenesis, cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Located in the p75NTR ge...
متن کاملBioinformatics identification of miRNA-mRNA regulatory network contributing to lung cancer invasion
Background: Over the past 15 years, significant insights have been gained into the roles of miRNAs in cancer. In various cancers, miRNAs can act as oncogenes, tumor suppressors, or control the metastasis process by modulating the expression of numerous target genes. This study is aimed at determining molecular network of miRNA-mRNA regulating lung cancer invasion, by bioinformatics approaches. ...
متن کاملBioinformatics Identification of miRNA-mRNA Regulatory Network Contributing Primary Lung Cancer
Introduction: In clinical practice, distinguishing invasive lung tumors from primary tumors remains a challenge. With recent advances in understanding biological alterations of tumorigenesis and molecular analytic technologies, using these molecular alterations can be sensitive and tumor-specific as biomarker for the stratification of patients. In this study, the molecular network of miRNA-mRNA...
