چکیده

Patterns of gene expression in normal and neoplastic rat mammary tissues were compared by cell-free translation of their total polyadenylated RNAs and by dot blot hybridization of the RNA to cloned complementary DNA probes for six of the major milk proteins, including: Mr 42,000 and 25,000 caseins, X-casein, whey phosphoproteins, kappa-proteins, and alpha-lactalbumin. Distinct but overlapping messenger RNA populations were evident from the translation patterns of normal virgin, pregnant, and lactating mammary glands. Dot blot analysis showed that each milk protein RNA had a different characteristic accumulation profile during pregnancy and lactation. The MTW9 and MCCLX mammary tumor lines, which are transplantable, prolactin dependent for growth, and produce alpha-lactalbumin, both showed high alpha-lactalbumin and Mr 42,000 casein messenger RNA activity. The tumors also had other milk protein RNA sequences, although in different proportions than at any stage during functional differentiation of normal adult mammary gland. Our results indicate that normal pregnant mammary gland expresses all of the abundant milk protein genes prior to detectable milk secretion. The patterns of gene expression in the two mammary tumors do not appear to correspond to any particular stage of functional differentiation of the normal mammary gland.

Long non-coding RNAs and their significance in human diseases

Protein-coding genes account for only a small fraction of the human genome and most of the genomic sequences are transcriptionally silent, but recent observations indicate significant functional elements, including non-coding protein transcripts in the human genome. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been defined as transcripts of >200 nucleotides without protein-coding capacity that perform t...

Tumor-specific polyadenylated RNA's from 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-induced mammary tumors revealed through hybridization with fractionated single-copy DNA.

Polyadenylated (poly(A)+) and nonpolyadenylated (poly(A)~) RNA fractions from primary, hormone-dependent, 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-induced mammary tumors and normal rat mammary tissue were analyzed by molecular hybridization to determine if there is a unique class of "tissue-specific" RNA sequences. Single-copy [3H]DNA was fractionated into probes which were either depleted of midpregnant...

Dysregulated Expression of Long Intergenic Non-coding RNAs (LincRNAs) in Urothelial Bladder Carcinoma

Long intergenic non-coding RNA (lincRNA) has been introduced as key regulators of diverse biological processes, including transcription, chromatin organization, cell growth and tumorigenesis. With regard to the potential role of lincRNAs in cancer development, one may postulate that differential expression of lincRNAs could be employed as a tool in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted ther...

Evaluating the clinical importance of long-non coding RNA MALAT1 expression in breast cancer

Background: Breast cancer is one of the major causes of illness and mortality among women. Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) have important role in tumor development and progression. Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) is a lncRNA that deregulates in several cancers, however, its value in the diagnosis of breast cancer is unclear. This study was conducted to investigate...

Evaluation of the role of mico-RNAs in cardiomyocytes differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells

Stem cells are a good alternative for regenerative medicine because of their characteristics such as self-renewal and differentiation potential. They are classified into different types of stem cells including embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, multipotent stem cells, and ultimately uni-potent stem cells. Mesenchymal stem cells extracted from adult tissues. Due to the lack of...
