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.

MicroRNAs in cancer.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of miRNA dysregulation in the cellular pathways that lead to the progressive conversion of normal cells into cancer cells and the potential to develop new molecular miRNA-targeted therapies are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNAs in development and disease.

TL;DR: The discovery, structure, and mode of function of miRNAs in mammalian cells are described, before elaborating on their roles and significance during development and pathogenesis in the various mammalian organs, while attempting to reconcile their functions with the existing knowledge of their targets.

OncomiR addiction in an in vivo model of microRNA-21-induced pre-B-cell lymphoma

TL;DR: It is shown that overexpression of miR-21 leads to a pre-B malignant lymphoid-like phenotype, demonstrating that mir-21 is a genuine oncogene and demonstrating efforts to treat human cancers through pharmacological inactivation of miRNAs such as miR -21.

MicroRNA 21 Promotes Glioma Invasion by Targeting Matrix Metalloproteinase Regulators

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that miR-21 regulates multiple genes associated with glioma cell apoptosis, migration, and invasiveness, including the RECK and TIMP3 genes, which are suppressors of malignancy and inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs).

GAP43, MARCKS, and CAP23 modulate PI(4,5)P(2) at plasmalemmal rafts, and regulate cell cortex actin dynamics through a common mechanism.

TL;DR: It is suggested that GAP43, myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate, and CAP23 are functionally and mechanistically related PI(4,5)P2 modulating proteins, upstream of actin and cell cortex dynamics regulation.
