MicroRNA-21 directly targets MARCKS and promotes apoptosis resistance and invasion in prostate cancer cells

TLDR
The data suggested that miR-21 could promote apoptosis resistance, motility, and invasion in prostate cancer cells and these effects of mi R-21 may be partly due to its regulation of PDCD4, TPM1, and MARCKS.

Hexavalent chromium induces malignant transformation of human lung bronchial epithelial cells via ROS-dependent activation of miR-21-PDCD4 signaling.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that the miR-21-PDCD4 signaling axis plays an important role in Cr(VI)-induced carcinogenesis and reduces the tumorogenicity of chronic Cr( VI)-exposed BEAS-2B cells in nude mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNA-744 promotes prostate cancer progression through aberrantly activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that miR-744 acts as one of oncogenic factor in the progression of CRPC by recruiting a mechanism of aberrant activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling.

X MARCKS the spot: myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate in neuronal function and disease.

TL;DR: MARCKS has been found to interact with a number of other proteins involved in processes ranging from intracellular signaling to process outgrowth, and their role in an array of brain-specific functions that have important implications for many neurological conditions is explored.

Comprehensively Evaluating cis-Regulatory Variation in the Human Prostate Transcriptome by Using Gene-Level Allele-Specific Expression

TL;DR: A comprehensive evaluation of cis-eQTLs by analyzing RNA-seq gene-expression data and genome-wide high-density genotypes from 471 samples of normal primary prostate tissue provides extensive functional context of thousands of SNPs in prostate tissue, and will be of critical value in guiding studies examining disease of the human prostate.

miR-584 mediates post-transcriptional expression of lactoferrin receptor in Caco-2 cells and in mouse small intestine during the perinatal period.

TL;DR: It is proposed that miR-584 contributes to the post-transcriptional expression of lactoferrin receptor during the perinatal period, a novel example of how microRNAs may be involved in regulation of nutrient metabolism in the newborn.

MicroRNA-21 regulates expression of the PTEN tumor suppressor gene in human hepatocellular cancer

TL;DR: Aberrant expression of miR-21 can contribute to HCC growth and spread by modulating PTEN expression and PTEN-dependent pathways involved in mediating phenotypic characteristics of cancer cells such as cell growth, migration, and invasion.
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNA-21 is an antiapoptotic factor in human glioblastoma cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that the highly malignant human brain tumor, glioblastoma, strongly over-expresses a specific miRNA, miR-21, which may contribute to the malignant phenotype by blocking expression of critical apoptosis-related genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) post-transcriptionally downregulates tumor suppressor Pdcd4 and stimulates invasion, intravasation and metastasis in colorectal cancer.

TL;DR: This is the first study to show that Pdcd4 is negatively regulated by miR-21, and the first report to demonstrate that mi R-21 induces invasion/intravasation/metastasis.

Specificity of microRNA target selection in translational repression

TL;DR: The ability of an miRNA to translationally repress a target mRNA is largely dictated by the free energy of binding of the first eight nucleotides in the 5' region of the miRNA, however, G:U wobble base-pairing in this region interferes with activity beyond that predicted on the basis of thermodynamic stability.
