Systemic inflammation in humans may be triggered by infection, termed sepsis, or non-infective processes, termed non-infective systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). MicroRNAs regulate cellular processes including inflammation and may be detected in blood. We aimed to establish definitive proof-of-principle that circulating microRNAs are differentially affected during sepsis and non-in...

This study aims to identify prognostic microRNAs (miRNAs) biomarkers for diagnosis and survival of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on large patients cohort analysis. HCC patient cohort data were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas, including paired HCC and adjacent non-cancer tissues. Receiver operating characteristic curve method was used to classify cancer and non-cancer tissues acco...

objective(s): erythropoiesis is regulated by some extrinsic and intrinsic factors as micrornas (mirnas). mirnas are endogenously small non-coding regulatory rnas which play vital roles in the variety of cellular fate, critical processes; growth, apoptosis, metabolism, survival of the cells and specially differentiation. several mirnas such as mir-16 and mir-451 have been shown to be correlated ...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level through base-pairing predominantly with a 3-untranslated region of target mRNA, followed by mRNA degradation or translational repression. Totally, miRNAs change, complex regulatory network, more than 60% human genes. MiRNAs key regulators immune response affect maturation, proli...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play important roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation. The hairpin structure is a key characteristic of the microRNAs precursors (pre-miRNAs). How to encode their hairpin structures is a critical step to correctly detect the pre-miRNAs from background sequences, i.e., pseudo miRNA precursors. In this paper, we have proposed to encode the hairpin stru...

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...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, single-stranded, noncoding, highly conserved posttranscriptional regulators found in a variety of tissues including circulating blood.1 MicroRNAs regulate gene expression posttranscriptionally through inhibiting translation from and/or inducing degradation of specific RNAs.2 Certain miRNAs are expressed and function cell-type specifically or in association with par...

Background and Objective: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a leading cause of morbidity mortality worldwide, survivors are at an increased risk experiencing adverse left ventricular (LV) remodelling major cardiovascular events (MACE). As such, the development non-invasive tools to predict following AMI remains clinical priority. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) small-noncoding RNAs that regulate gene exp...

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...

As an aromatic and colorful plant of substantive taste, saffron (Crocus sativus L.) owes such properties of matter to growing class of the secondary metabolites derived from the carotenoids, apocarotenoids. Regarding the critical role of microRNAs in secondary metabolic synthesis and the limited number of identified miRNAs in C. sativus, on the other hand, one may see the point how the characte...
