Oncogenic miR-137 contributes to cisplatin resistance via repressing CASP3 in lung adenocarcinoma.

TL;DR: The data indicated that miR-137 overexpression increases the survival of lung cancer cells exposed to cisPlatin and decreases cisplatin-induced apoptosis, and provides a new chemoresistance mechanism in lung adenocarcinoma patients.

MiR-138 indirectly regulates the MDR1 promoter by NF-κB/p65 silencing.

TL;DR: The results of luciferase reporter assay, western blot and flow cytometry suggest that miR-138 might modulate the human MDR1 expression by inhibiting NF-κB/p65 as an indirect mechanism of MDR 1 regulation.

miR-21 silencing ameliorates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by promoting the differentiation of IL-10-producing B cells.

TL;DR: A B cell-intrinsic microRNA pathway that inhibits the differentiation of IL-10+ Breg cells and promotes autoimmunity is characterized and miR-21 silencing represents a new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Meta-Analysis of MicroRNAs Dysregulated in the Hippocampal Dentate Gyrus of Animal Models of Epilepsy

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of changes in miRNA expression in the hippocampal dentate gyrus following an epileptogenic insult in three epilepsy models identifies new miRNAs associated with epileptogenesis from existing data, highlighting the utility of meta- analysis in maximizing value from preclinical data.

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.
