Journal ArticleDOI
Widespread siRNA "off-target" transcript silencing mediated by seed region sequence complementarity.
Aimee L. Jackson,Julja Burchard,Janell M. Schelter,B. Nelson Chau,Michele A. Cleary,Lee Lim,Peter S. Linsley +6 more
TL;DR: In all cases, off-target transcript silencing was accompanied by loss of the corresponding protein and occurred with dependence on siRNA concentration similar to that of silencing of the target transcript.
Journal ArticleDOI
Position-specific chemical modification of siRNAs reduces “off-target” transcript silencing
Aimee L. Jackson,Julja Burchard,Devin Leake,Angela Reynolds,Janell M. Schelter,Jie Guo,Jason M. Johnson,Lee Lim,Jon Karpilow,Kim Nichols,William Marshall,Anastasia Khvorova,Peter S. Linsley +12 more
TL;DR: Key to the modification was 2'-O-methyl ribosyl substitution at position 2 in the guide strand, which reduced silencing of most off-target transcripts with complementarity to the seed region of the siRNA guide strand.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma MicroRNAs as Sensitive and Specific Biomarkers of Tissue Injury
Omar F Laterza,Lee Lim,Philip W. Garrett-engele,Katerina Vlasakova,Nagaraja Muniappa,Wesley Tanaka,Jason M. Johnson,Joseph F. Sina,Thomas L. Fare,Frank D. Sistare,Warren E. Glaab +10 more
TL;DR: These results demonstrate that tissue-specific miRNAs may serve as diagnostically sensitive plasma biomarkers of tissue injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcripts targeted by the microRNA-16 family cooperatively regulate cell cycle progression
Peter S. Linsley,Janell M. Schelter,Julja Burchard,Miho Kibukawa,Melissa M. Martin,Steven R. Bartz,Jason M. Johnson,Jordan M. Cummins,Christopher K. Raymond,Hongyue Dai,Nelson Chau,Michele A. Cleary,Aimee L. Jackson,Michael Carleton,Lee Lim +14 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a family of miRNAs sharing sequence identity with miRNA-16 (miR-16) negatively regulates cellular growth and cell cycle progression and coordinately regulates targets that may act in concert to controlcell cycle progression.
Journal ArticleDOI
MicroRNAs in the miR-106b Family Regulate p21/CDKN1A and Promote Cell Cycle Progression
Irena Ivanovska,Alexey S. Ball,Robert L. Diaz,Jill F. Magnus,Miho Kibukawa,Janell M. Schelter,Sumire V. Kobayashi,Lee Lim,Julja Burchard,Aimee L. Jackson,Peter S. Linsley,Michele A. Cleary +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that miR-106b overrides a doxorubicin-induced DNA damage checkpoint and that its silencing plays a key role in miR -106b-induced cell cycle phenotypes.
