U1 snRNP regulates cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro

TL;DR: An unexpected role for U1 homeostasis (available U1 relative to transcription) in oncogenic and activated cell states is revealed, and U1 is suggested as a potential target for their modulation.

U1 snRNP regulates cancer cell migration and invasion

TL;DR: It is shown that U1 AMO also modulates cancer cells’ phenotype, dose-dependently increasing migration and invasion in vitro by up to 500%, whereas U1 over-expression has the opposite effect.

MicroRNA biogenesis pathways in cancer

TL;DR: Global miRNA depletion caused by genetic and epigenetic alterations in components of the miRNA biogenesis machinery is oncogenic, highlighting the importance of miRNA dysregulation in cancer.

Non-coding RNAs in Development and Disease: Background, Mechanisms, and Therapeutic Approaches

TL;DR: This review guides the reader through important aspects of non-coding RNA biology, including their biogenesis, mode of actions, physiological function, as well as their role in the disease context (such as in cancer or the cardiovascular system).

MicroRNAs and other non-coding RNAs as targets for anticancer drug development

TL;DR: The roles of miRNAs and lncRNAs in cancer are summarized, with a focus on the recently identified novel mechanisms of action, and the current strategies in designing ncRNA-targeting therapeutics are discussed.

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.

The C. elegans heterochronic gene lin-4 encodes small RNAs with antisense complementarity to lin-14

TL;DR: Two small lin-4 transcripts of approximately 22 and 61 nt were identified in C. elegans and found to contain sequences complementary to a repeated sequence element in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of lin-14 mRNA, suggesting that lin- 4 regulates lin- 14 translation via an antisense RNA-RNA interaction.

MicroRNA signatures in human cancers

TL;DR: MiRNA-expression profiling of human tumours has identified signatures associated with diagnosis, staging, progression, prognosis and response to treatment and has been exploited to identify miRNA genes that might represent downstream targets of activated oncogenic pathways, or that target protein-coding genes involved in cancer.

MicroRNA signatures in human cancers

TL;DR: The causes of the widespread differential expression of miRNA genes in malignant compared with normal cells can be explained by the location of these genes in cancer-associated genomic regions, by epigenetic mechanisms and by alterations in the miRNA processing machinery as discussed by the authors.
