Combination of expression levels of miR-21 and miR-126 is associated with cancer-specific survival in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma

TL;DR: A combined risk score (CRS) based on the expression of both miRs showed high sensitivity and specificity in predicting CSS and prediction was independent from any other clinico-pathological parameter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low expression of microRNA-126 is associated with poor prognosis in colorectal cancer.

TL;DR: Multivariate analysis indicated that miR‐126 was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival, suggesting its clinical significance as a prognostic predictor in CRC patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemically modified synthetic microRNA-205 inhibits the growth of melanoma cells in vitro and in vivo.

TL;DR: The antitumor effect in vitro and in vivo of miR-205 that was also chemically modified by BP and had altered passenger sequence indicates that miR -205BP/S3 is a possible promising therapeutic modality for melanoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

miRNAs as biomarkers in prostate cancer

TL;DR: The current knowledge of miRNA expression patterns in PCa and their role inPCa prognosis and therapeutics is reviewed.

Mir-519d represses ovarian cancer cell proliferation and enhances cisplatin-mediated cytotoxicity in vitro by targeting XiaP

TL;DR: It is indicated that miR-519d suppresses cell proliferation and sensitizes ovarian cancer cells to cisplatin-induced cell death by targeting the XIAP transcript, suggesting that miD-519D plays a tumor-suppressive role in human ovarian cancer and highlighting the therapeutic potential of miR -519d in ovarian cancer treatment.

MicroRNAs: Target Recognition and Regulatory Functions

TL;DR: The current understanding of miRNA target recognition in animals is outlined and the widespread impact of miRNAs on both the expression and evolution of protein-coding genes is discussed.

A microRNA polycistron as a potential human oncogene

TL;DR: It is found that the levels of the primary or mature microRNAs derived from the mir-17–92 locus are often substantially increased in human B-cell lymphomas, and the cluster is implicate as a potential human oncogene.

Mammalian microRNAs predominantly act to decrease target mRNA levels

TL;DR: Results show that changes in mRNA levels closely reflect the impact of miRNAs on gene expression and indicate that destabilization of target mRNAs is the predominant reason for reduced protein output.

Mammalian microRNAs predominantly act to decrease target mRNA levels

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used ribosome profiling to measure the overall effects on protein production and compare these to simultaneously measured effects on mRNA levels, showing that changes in mRNA levels closely reflect the impact of miRNAs on gene expression and indicate that destabilization of target mRNAs is the predominant reason for reduced protein output.
