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.

Polymeric vector-mediated delivery of an miR-21 inhibitor for prostate cancer treatment

TL;DR: The potential of the novel nucleic acid nanomedicine for the effective treatment of prostate cancer is demonstrated through the transfection efficiency and mechanism of action of the PEG–PAsp(DETA)/miR-21 inhibitor towards prostate cancer PC-3 cells.

A novel oncogenic axis involving the ETS factor ESE3/EHF, miR-424, COP1 and STAT3 drives prostate tumor progression

TL;DR: Monitoring the state of miR-424/COP1/STAT3 oncogenic axis could provide new insights for the development of specific therapeutic strategies and the identification of patients more likely to have aggressive tumor and disease recurrence.

MicroRNAs in Brain Tumors

TL;DR: This chapter reviews the role of specific miRNAs in malignant gliomas and childhood embryonal tumors – medulloblastoma and primitive neuroectodermal brain tumors, in which mi RNAs have been most extensively investigated.

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.

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.
