Resistance to cancer treatment is one of the major challenges currently faced when treating gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. A contributing factor this resistance presence stem cells (CSCs) in GI cancers (e.g., colorectal, pancreatic, gastric, liver cancer). Non-coding RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), have been found regulate several key targets that are responsible for stemness, and function on...

Cardiovascular disease has become the main factor of death and birth defects in the world. There are some therapeutic structures and drugs for curative and palliative therapy of the disease, but to the aim of accessing reliable therapy or to postpone onset of disease, especially for individuals with heritable coronary artery disease in their pedigree Genetic engineering technologies are making...

objective(s):micrornas (mirnas) are a class of short rnas that control the biological processes including cell proliferation, apoptosis and development. aberrant expression of mirnas was determined in the different stages of tumor development and metastasis. to study the effect of silibinin on mirnas expression, we evaluated quantitative expression of mir-21 and mir-155 as two oncomirs and seve...

Mango is a major tropical fruit in the world and known as king of fruits because its flavor, aroma, taste, nutritional values. Although various regulatory roles microRNAs (miRNAs) long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been investigated many plants, there yet an absence such study mango. This first to provide information on (ncRNAs) mango with aims identifying miRNAs lncRNAs discovering their pote...

objective(s):an earlier meta-analysis on gene expression data derived from four microarray, two cdna library, and one sage experiment had identified rgs5 as one of only ten non-housekeeping genes that were reported to be expressed in human trabecular meshwork (tm) cells by all studies. rgs5 encodes regulator of g-protein signaling-5. the tm tissue is the route of aqueous fluid outflow, and is r...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small [∼21 nucleotide (nt)] non coding RNAs (ncRNAs) that regulate gene expression posttranscriptionally. About 3.0% of human genes encode for miRNAs, and up to 30.0% of human protein coding genes may be regulated by miRNAs. Currently, more than 2000 unique human mature microRNAs are known. MicroRNAs play a key role in diverse biological processes including development, c...

Hypertension is a cardiovascular disease which very common hemodynamic syndrome, and it has different prevalence in regions as all over the world. In recent studies, known that microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role hypertension miRNA expressions are regulated by epigenetic mechanisms. There also studies proving new therapeutic targets for pulmonary arterial hypertension, miRNAs can particip...

micrornas (mirnas) are non-coding small rna molecules with 21–25 nucleotides. it plays significant role in control of gene expression at posttranscriptional/translational level. they are commonly dysregulated in human cancers, whereas they may behave either as oncogenes or as tumor-suppressor genes. both genetic and epigenetic events in deregulation of mirna can lead to cancer development. gene...

endothelial cells present in brain are unique and differ from other peripheral tissues in a number of ways, which ensures specific brain endothelial barrier properties. endothelial dysfunction is the earliest event in the initiation of vascular damage caused by inflammation. various micrornas (mirna) have been discovered in different cellular components of the blood bran barrier (bbb). mirnas a...

conclusions the identified expression profiles of some examined mirnas might offer important points to consider for the treatment of naive patients and the management of chronically infected hcv patients in egypt and around the world. results our results revealed differential expression levels of the analyzed mirnas compared to the normal controls. twenty-seven mirnas (including mir-105, mir-14...
