چکیده

This Essay explores the notion that specialized cells have unique vulnerabilities to environmental contingencies that microRNAs help to counteract. Given the ease with which new microRNAs evolve, they may serve as ideal facilitators for the emergence of new cell types.

Role of microRNA as a biomarker in Alzheimer’s disease

Introduction: MicroRNAs are small, non-coding, and protected RNA molecules that regulate gene expression after transcription by mRNA degradation or inhibition of protein synthesis. The function of these molecules is critical to many cellular processes, including growth, development, differentiation, homeostasis, apoptosis, aging, stress resistance. In addition, some diseases including cancer, a...

Evaluation of microRNAs; mir223, mir222 and mir92a levels in the Platelet-derived microparticles in the Platelet concentrates produced by Platelet Rich Plasma method during storage

Abstract Background and Objectives Platelets release microparticles containing cellular components, including microRNAs, during storage. Assessment of these microRNAs is one of the markers for evaluation of platelet storage lesions. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the level of changes in the expression of mir-223, mir-92a and mir-222 during storage in platelets prepared by platele...

MicroRNAs as a New Molecular Biomarker for Diagnosis and Prognosis of T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL): A Systematic Review

MicroRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) are small endogenous non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of protein-encoding genes at the post-transcriptional level. Several studies have described the role of miRNAs in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), including tumor suppressor and oncogenic miRNAs. Down-regulation of miRNA expression is a prominent feature of human malignancy. This down-regulati...

بررسی اثرات تغییر بیان ریز آر ان ای های سلولی ناشی از ویروس پاپیلوم انسانی در سلول های سرطانی سنگفرشی سر و گردن در سطح پروفیل بیان ژنی

Background and aim: Human Papilloma Virus plays an important role in some of human malignancies and causes alterations in normal expression levels of cellular microRNAs. In this paper, we evaluated the effects of such changes on Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma tumor samples at gene expression profile level. Methods: in this descriptive-analytical study, gene expression profiles of 36 tum...

Comparing MicroRNA Target Gene Predictions Related to Alzheimer's Disease Using Online Bioinformatics Tools

Introduction: The prediction of microRNAs related to target genes using bioinformatics tools saves time and costs of the experimental analyses. In the present study, the prediction of microRNA target genes relevant to Alzheimer’s Diseases (AD) were compared with the experimentally reported data using different bioinformatics tools. Method: A total of 41 microRNAs associated with 21 essential ge...
