Identification and characterization of gene and microRNA networks associated with cancer survival and drug abuse

TL;DR: Sensory perception and G protein-coupled receptor processes were enriched among microRNA gene targets also associated with survival, and network visualization highlighted their relations, which can help to improve prognostic tools and personalized treatments.

Translating Translational Repression: Evolving Possibilities in Uro-oncology

TL;DR: ‘‘Its now clear an extensive miRNA [microRNA] world was flying almost unseen by the authors' genetic radar,’’ wrote Gay Ruvkun in 2004, commemorating the drawn out process that was eventually necessary to recognise the importance of miRNAs.

RNAI-based gene therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma: targeting ABC transporters

F. Borel
TL;DR: The role of ABC transporters in HCC is questioned, and RNAi-based strategies to compensate their dysregulation are developed to modulate ABC transporter gene expression.

miR-32 promotes MYC-driven prostate cancer

TL;DR: In this article , the authors showed that miR-32-3p increased proliferation in prostate adenocarcinoma in transgenic mice expressing mycogene (hiMYC mice) and identified PDK4 as a PC-relevant metabolic target.

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.
