MiR-206 acts as a potential tumor suppressor during carcinogenesis and a regulatory factor in osteoblasts differentiation, but its modulatory mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we used a quantitative proteomics method, difference gel electrophoresis (DIGE), to profile the protein variation in A549 lung cancer cells with and without miR- 206 transfection. We identified a total of 17 diffe...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are thought to have an important role in tumor metastasis by regulating diverse cellular pathways. Here, we describe the function and regulation network of miR-206 in gastric cancer (GC) metastasis. MiR-206 expression was downregulated in GC cells especially in high metastatic potential cells and was also significantly decreased in metastatic lesions compared with their corre...

in this paper cufe2o4, nanocrystalline powders were prepared. also, the supported cu ferrite was obtained by impregnation of the supports with cu and fe nitrates solutions, for calcination temperature 450 ºc. the samples were characterized by x-ray powder diffraction (xrd) and fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir). photocatalytic degradation of acid red 206 in water was studied. cufe2...

Twist-1 is mostly expressed during development and has been previously shown to control myogenesis. Because its regulation in muscle has not been fully exploited, the aim of this project was to identify micro (mi)RNAs in muscle that regulate Twist-1. miR-206, one of the most important muscle-specific miRNAs (myomiRs), was identified as a possible regulator of Twist-1 mRNA. Luciferase assays and...

Mutations in the gene encoding glutamine-fructose-6-phosphate transaminase 1 (GFPT1) cause the neuromuscular disorder limb-girdle congenital myasthenic syndrome (LG-CMS). One recurrent GFPT1 mutation detected in LG-CMS patients is a c.*22C>A transversion in the 3'-untranslated region (UTR). Because this variant does not alter the GFPT1 open reading frame, its pathogenic relevance has not yet be...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have recently emerged as fundamental post-transcriptional regulators inhibit gene expression linked to various biological processes. MiR-206 is one of the most studied and best characterized miRNA to date, which specifically expressed in skeletal muscle. In this review, we summarized the results of studies of miR-206 with emphasis on its function in skeletal muscle developmen...

MicroRNAs are highly conserved, noncoding RNAs involved in posttranscriptional gene silencing. MicroRNAs have been shown to be involved in a range of biological processes, including myogenesis and muscle regeneration. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that microRNA expression is altered in dystrophic muscle, with the greatest change occurring, of the muscles examined, in th...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment status of elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) complicated with lung cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study of 206 patients aged >60 years with COPD and newly diagnosed lung cancer at the Tianjin Chest Hospital Respiratory Centre between September 2008 and September 2013...
