Differential Expression of microRNAs in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Identifies Autophagy and TGF-Beta-Related Signatures Aberrantly Expressed in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

TL;DR: unique miRNA signatures expressed in distinct IBD phenotypes are identified, revealing possible mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of IBD, but also suggest a cluster of miRNAs as readily accessible biomarkers to aid in differential diagnosis.

Impact of gestational chronodisruption on fetal cardiac genomics

TL;DR: The dysregulation of a relevant fraction of the fetal cardiac transcriptome, together with the diversity and complexity of the gene networks altered by gestational chronodisruption, suggest enduring molecular changes which may shape the hypertrophy observed in the left ventricle of adult LL offspring.

Investigating miRNA-lncRNA Interactions: Computational Tools and Resources.

TL;DR: The present chapter aims to provide a brief update on the actual biomedical relevance of ceRNAs, together with a summary of resources, tools, and practical examples of their application to aid researchers in the discovery and further elucidation of lncRNA-miRNA interactions.

MicroRNA 27a-3p Regulates Antimicrobial Responses of Murine Macrophages Infected by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis by Targeting Interleukin-10 and TGF-β-Activated Protein Kinase 1 Binding Protein 2.

TL;DR: It is found that miR-27a regulates protective innate immune responses during MAP infection and can be exploited as a novel therapeutic target in the control of intracellular pathogens, including paratuberculosis.

Paternal Benzo[a]pyrene Exposure Affects Gene Expression in the Early Developing Mouse Embryo

TL;DR: It is found that paternal B[a]P exposure altered the expression of numerous genes in the developing embryo especially at the blastocyst stage, and some genes were also affected at earlier developmental stages.

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.

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.

Conserved seed pairing, often flanked by adenosines, indicates that thousands of human genes are microRNA targets

TL;DR: In a four-genome analysis of 3' UTRs, approximately 13,000 regulatory relationships were detected above the estimate of false-positive predictions, thereby implicating as miRNA targets more than 5300 human genes, which represented 30% of the gene set.

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.

Prediction of Mammalian MicroRNA Targets

TL;DR: The predicted regulatory targets of mammalian miRNAs were enriched for genes involved in transcriptional regulation but also encompassed an unexpectedly broad range of other functions.
