Absolute and direct microRNA quantification using DNA-gold nanoparticle probes

TL;DR: The molecular design of DNA-AuNP probes, with the DNA strands immobilized on top of the PEG-based passivation layer, results in nearly unaltered enzymatic activity toward immobilized heteroduplexes compared to substrates free in solution, which may significantly advance the use of microRNAs as biomarkers in the clinical praxis.

Exosome-mediated transfer of miR-10b promotes cell invasion in breast cancer

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that microRNA carrying exosomes can be transferred among different cell lines through direct uptake and, upon uptake, miR-10b can suppress the protein level of its target genes such as HOXD10 and KLF4, indicating its functional significance.
Journal ArticleDOI

miRNA-based therapies: strategies and delivery platforms for oligonucleotide and non-oligonucleotide agents.

TL;DR: The current status and recent progress of miRNA-targeted therapeutics is described and future challenges and potential applications in treatment of cancer and viral infections are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Challenges in using circulating miRNAs as cancer biomarkers.

TL;DR: The exciting potential of circulating miRNAs as cancer biomarkers could confer an important advance in the disease management, but their clinical significance might not be proven without a global consensus of procedures and standardized protocols for their accurate detection.
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNAs and bacterial infection

TL;DR: This review presents the current state of knowledge about the role of miRNAs in the response to both bacterial pathogens and commensal bacteria in human cells or animal experimental models.

MicroRNAs: Genomics, Biogenesis, Mechanism, and Function

TL;DR: Although they escaped notice until relatively recently, miRNAs comprise one of the more abundant classes of gene regulatory molecules in multicellular organisms and likely influence the output of many protein-coding genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exosome-mediated transfer of mRNAs and microRNAs is a novel mechanism of genetic exchange between cells

TL;DR: It is shown that exosomes contain both mRNA and microRNA, which can be delivered to another cell, and can be functional in this new location, and it is proposed that this RNA is called “exosomal shuttle RNA” (esRNA).

MicroRNA expression profiles classify human cancers

TL;DR: A new, bead-based flow cytometric miRNA expression profiling method is used to present a systematic expression analysis of 217 mammalian miRNAs from 334 samples, including multiple human cancers, and finds the miRNA profiles are surprisingly informative, reflecting the developmental lineage and differentiation state of the tumours.

Oncomirs : microRNAs with a role in cancer

TL;DR: I MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an abundant class of small non-protein-coding RNAs that function as negative gene regulators as discussed by the authors, and have been shown to repress the expression of important cancer-related genes and might prove useful in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
