5'-isomiRs expand the repertoire of miRNA targets. However, how they are generated is not well understood. Previously, we showed that for some miRNAs in mammalian cells, Drosha cleaves at multiple sites to generate multiple pre-miRNAs that give rise to multiple 5'-isomiRs. Here, we showed that for some other miRNAs, 5'-isomiRs are generated by alternative Dicer processing. In addition, we showe...
Recently reporting in Science, Nakagawa et al. describe an unexpected role for Dicer in chromosome fragmentation during apoptosis in C. elegans. They find that cleavage of DCR-1 by the caspase CED-3 redirects its regulatory activity, by destroying its dsRNase activity while activating an intrinsic DNase activity.
Long-term opioid treatment results in reduced therapeutic efficacy and in turn leads to an increase in the dose required to produce equivalent pain relief and alleviate break-through or insurmountable pain. Altered gene expression is a likely means for inducing long-term neuroadaptations responsible for tolerance. Studies conducted by our laboratory (Tapocik et al., 2009) revealed a network of ...
Dicer has been well studied in cancer; however, deciphering its exact function in tumorigenesis continues to be a challenge. While partial suppression or truncation of Dicer promotes tumorigenesis, its complete deletion inhibits tumor growth. Here, we discuss this Dicer cancer conundrum in the context of its recently discovered role in the DNA damage response.
Dicer is an RNase III enzyme with two catalytic subunits, which catalyzes the cleavage of double-stranded RNA to small interfering RNAs and micro-RNAs, which are mainly involved in invasive nucleic acid defense and endogenous genes regulation. Dicer is abundantly expressed in embryos, indicating the importance of the protein in early embryonic development. In addition, Dicer is thought to be in...
Mouse cytochrome P450 2b9 (Cyp2b9) is a testosterone 16ahydroxylase enzyme showing female-specific expression in many inbred mouse strains, including C57BL/6J. Previous studies have recognized that some sex-dependently secreted endogenous modulating factors were involved in the sexually dimorphic expression of Cyp2b9 through transcriptional regulation. In this study, we found evidence that some...
DICER1 is an RNase endonuclease important for production of microRNAs, which regulate multiple proteincoding genes involved in growth and development. It has been linked to several tumors including pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB), cystic nephroma, ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors and thyroid neoplasia. Most of the manifestations of DICER1 mutations occur in young children, adolescents and youn...
MicroRNAs play an important role in cancer initiation and development. The aim of this study was to investigate whether polymorphisms in miRNA machinery genes are associated with the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). RAN rs14035 CT heterozygotes and T allele carriers (CT + TT) genotypes had lower risk of CRC, while the DICER1 rs3742330, DROSHA rs10719, and XPO5 rs11077 polymorphisms were ...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) directly and indirectly affect tumorigenesis. To be able to perform their myriad roles, miRNA machinery genes, such as Drosha, DGCR8, Dicer1, XPO5, TRBP, and AGO2, must generate precise miRNAs. These genes have specific expression patterns, protein-binding partners, and biochemical capabilities in different cancers. Our preliminary analysis of data from The Cancer Genome Atla...
Dicer is a key enzyme involved in the maturation of microRNAS (miRNAs). miRNAs have been shown to be regulators of gene expression participating in the control of a wide range of physiological pathways. To assess the role of Dicer and consequently the importance of miRNAs in the biology and functions of human endothelial cells (EC) during angiogenesis, we globally reduced miRNAs in ECs by speci...
