Epigenetic Modification of CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Protein α Expression in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

TL;DR: It is shown that C/EBP alpha mRNA is a target for miRNA-124a, a computational microRNA prediction approach and functional studies that shows that this miRNA is frequently silenced by epigenetic mechanisms in leukemia cell lines, becomes up-regulated after epigenetic treatment, and targets the C/ EBP alpha 3' untranslated region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human chromosome 21-derived miRNAs are overexpressed in down syndrome brains and hearts.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that trisomic 21 gene dosage overexpression of Hsa21-derived miRNAs results in the decreased expression of specific target proteins and contribute, in part, to features of the neuronal and cardiac DS phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI

microRNA Replacement Therapy for Cancer

TL;DR: The field of oligonucleotide mimics and gene vector approaches to restore microRNA levels in tumors is surveyed and the literature on experimental and pre-clinical studies that have used these approaches to treat cancer is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A methodology for the combined in situ analyses of the precursor and mature forms of microRNAs and correlation with their putative targets.

TL;DR: This protocol describes in situ miRNA detection that can be done in paraffin-embedded, formalin-fixed tissue and involves colabeling by immunohistochemistry for the putative target of the miRNA.
