Exogenous plant MIR168a specifically targets mammalian LDLRAP1: Evidence of cross-kingdom regulation by microRNA

TL;DR: It is shown that MIR168a could bind to the human/mouse low-density lipoprotein receptor adapter protein 1 (LDLRAP1) mRNA, inhibit LDLRAP1 expression in liver, and consequently decrease LDL removal from mouse plasma, demonstrating that exogenous plant miRNAs in food can regulate the expression of target genes in mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Secreted microRNAs: a new form of intercellular communication.

TL;DR: A possible working model for how secreted miRNAs might be sorted and transferred between cells are proposed and speculated on their biological significance are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum microRNA Profiles Serve as Novel Biomarkers for HBV Infection and Diagnosis of HBV-Positive Hepatocarcinoma

TL;DR: This study demonstrates for the first time that serum miRNA profiles can serve as novel and noninvasive biomarkers for HBV infection and HBV-positive HCC diagnosis.
