Overexpression of miR-128 specifically inhibits the truncated isoform of NTRK3 and upregulates BCL2 in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells

TL;DR: Results show that the regulation of NTRK3 by microRNAs is isoform-specific and suggest that neurotrophin-mediated processes are strongly linked to microRNA-dependent mechanisms, and open new perspectives for the study of the physiological role of miR-128 and its possible involvement in cell death/survival processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Allele variants in functional MicroRNA target sites of the neurotrophin-3 receptor gene (NTRK3) as susceptibility factors for anxiety disorders.

TL;DR: Analysis of genetic variation in two different isoforms of NTRK3 as candidate susceptibility factors for anxiety by resequencing their 3′UTRs implicate miRNAs as key posttranscriptional regulators of NtrK3 and provide a framework for allele‐specific miRNA regulation of N TRK3 in anxiety disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Design and evaluation of a panel of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in microRNA genomic regions for association studies in human disease.

TL;DR: A designed miRNA SNP panel could help to identify still hidden links between miRNAs and human disease and a comparison of the minor allele frequencies between Spanish and HapMap population samples confirmed the applicability of this SNP panel to the study of complex disorders among the Spanish population.
Book ChapterDOI

MicroRNA-Mediated Regulation and the Genetic Susceptibility to Anxiety Disorders

TL;DR: Increasing evidence at a population and experimental level indicates that genetic variation at regulatory regions underlies differences in gene expression and could be a major contributor to phenotypic diversity in human populations, particularly in the case of psychiatric disorders.
