Exon-intron circular RNAs regulate transcription in the nucleus

TL;DR: A new role for circRNAs in regulating gene expression in the nucleus is revealed, in which EIciRNAs enhance the expression of their parental genes in cis, and a regulatory strategy for transcriptional control via specific RNA-RNA interaction between U1 snRNA and EICIRNAs is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological Functions of miR-29b Contribute to Positive Regulation of Osteoblast Differentiation

TL;DR: It is proposed that this mechanism prevents fibrosis and facilitates mineral deposition when miR-29b reaches peak levels and is a key regulator of development of the osteoblast phenotype by targeting anti-osteogenic factors and modulating bone extracellular matrix proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

A microRNA signature for a BMP2-induced osteoblast lineage commitment program.

TL;DR: The studies establish a mechanism for BMP morphogens to selectively induce a tissue-specific phenotype and suppress alternative lineages by down-regulating multiple miRNAs that constitute an osteogenic program, thereby releasing from inhibition pathway components required for cell lineage commitment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reprogramming of glucose, fatty acid and amino acid metabolism for cancer progression

TL;DR: Recent findings related to the regulation of glucose, fatty acid and amino acid metabolism, their crosstalk, and relevant cancer therapy strategy are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

miR-218 Directs a Wnt Signaling Circuit to Promote Differentiation of Osteoblasts and Osteomimicry of Metastatic Cancer Cells

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that miR-218 is induced during osteoblast differentiation and has potent osteogenic properties, which can promote commitment and differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells by activating a positive Wnt signaling loop.
