Oncomirs : microRNAs with a role in cancer
TLDR
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.Abstract:
I MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an abundant class of small non-protein-coding RNAs that function as negative gene regulators. They regulate diverse biological processes, and bioinformatic data indicates that each miRNA can control hundreds of gene targets, underscoring the potential influence of miRNAs on almost every genetic pathway. Recent evidence has shown that miRNA mutations or mis-expression correlate with various human cancers and indicates that miRNAs can function as tumour suppressors and oncogenes. miRNAs have been shown to repress the expression of important cancer-related genes and might prove useful in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.read more

Circulating exosomal noncoding RNAs as prognostic biomarkers in human hepatocellular carcinoma
Yu Rim Lee,Gyeonghwa Kim,Won Young Tak,Se Young Jang,Young Oh Kweon,Jung Gil Park,Hye Won Lee,Young Seok Han,Jae Min Chun,Soo-Young Park,Keun Hur +10 more
TL;DR: This study has provided strong evidence that circulating exosomal ncRNAs (miRNA‐21 and lncRNA‐ATB) are novel prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for HCC.

A Direct Comparison of Anti-microRNA Oligonucleotide Potency
Kim A. Lennox,Mark A. Behlke +1 more
TL;DR: Incorporating high binding affinity modifications, such as LNA and 2′F bases, increases AMO potency while maintaining specificity; nevertheless, use of low dose is preferred when using high potency reagents to minimize the potential for cross reactivity.

miRNA-34a is associated with docetaxel resistance in human breast cancer cells
TL;DR: This study is the first to show differences in miRNA expression, in particular, increased expression of miR-34a in an acquired model of docetaxel resistance in breast cancer.

TL;DR: The signature of the most stably expressed miRNA among benign and tumorous kidney tissue as the internal reference for normalization was successfully converted to be a quantitative PCR (qPCR)-based assay, which showed the same high sensitivity and specificity.

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.

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.

The nuclear RNase III Drosha initiates microRNA processing
Yoontae Lee,Chiyoung Ahn,Jinju Han,Hyounjeong Choi,Jaekwang Kim,Jeongbin Yim,Junho Lee,Patrick Provost,Olof Rådmark,Sun-Young Kim,V. Narry Kim +10 more
TL;DR: The two RNase III proteins, Drosha and Dicer, may collaborate in the stepwise processing of miRNAs, and have key roles in miRNA-mediated gene regulation in processes such as development and differentiation.
