Circulating microRNAs presented in venous plasma have been demonstrated as powerful biomarkers for the complex diseases like cancer. Nevertheless, those presented in arterial plasma remained largely unexplored. Here, using microarray technique, we compared microRNA expression profiles of the matched arterial and venous plasma samples from the same male rats. Though the microRNA profiles were la...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs consisting of a length roughly 22 nucleotides that participate in gene regulation [...]

micrornas constitute a group of small non-coding rnas that negatively regulate gene expression. aside from their contribution to biological and pathological pathways, altered expression of micrornas is reported in bio-fluid samples, such as serum. to employ serum's micrornas as potential biomarkers, it is crucial to develop an efficient method for microrna quantification, avoiding pre-analytica...

Population aging is accelerating worldwide, straining the global economy and health services. Cellular senescence a significant contributor to various age-related neurological neuropsychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease Parkinson’s disease. Some external factors, such as exposure ionizing radiation, can accelerate aging. In recent years, it has become known that post-transcription...

MicroRNAs are posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression. MicroRNAs reflect individual biologic adaptation to exposures in the environment. As such, measurement of circulating microRNAs presents an opportunity to evaluate biologic changes associated with behavioral interventions (i.e., exercise, diet) for weight loss. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review of the litera...

Background Circulating microRNAs are emerging as potential prognostic biomarkers for the development of type 2 diabetes. However, microRNAs are also associated with complications from impaired glucose metabolism (e.g. endothelial cell function). Prior studies have not evaluated for associations between trajectories of circulating microRNAs with trajectories of fasting blood glucose over time an...

Background and objectives: Curcumin as a medicinal substance has shown effective in different kinds of diseases especially cancer. To understand its underlying mechanism, molecular complementary study of differentially expressed microRNAs (DEMs) could assist. In this view, regulatory network analysis of DEMs of melanoma cancer treated with curcumin versus the untreated male <em...

MicroRNAs have been long considered synthesized endogenously until very recent discoveries showing that human can absorb dietary microRNAs from animal and plant origins while the mechanism remains unknown. Compelling evidences of microRNAs from rice, milk, and honeysuckle transported to human blood and tissues have created a high volume of interests in the fundamental questions that which and h...

MicroRNAs refer to a subfamily of small non-coding RNA species that are designed to influence gene expression in nearly all cell types studied to date. Studies from the past decade have demonstrated that microRNAs are atypically expressed in the cardiovascular system under specific pathological conditions. Gainand loss-of-function studies using in vitro and in vivo models have revealed distinct...
