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

Microenvironmental regulation of cancer metastasis by miRNAs
TL;DR: Current known mechanisms by which miRNAs execute their microenvironmental regulation of cancer metastasis, including regulating expression of cell membrane-bound and secreted proteins or directly transmitting mature miRNAAs between different cell types are discussed.

miRNA expression profile in human osteosarcoma: Role of miR-1 and miR-133b in proliferation and cell cycle control
Chiara Novello,Laura Pazzaglia,Chiara Cingolani,Amalia Conti,Irene Quattrini,Maria Cristina Manara,Mauro Tognon,Piero Picci,Maria Serena Benassi +8 more
TL;DR: Specific miRNA profiling deregulation in OS clinical samples are assessed and suggest that the expression ofmiR-1 and miR-133b may control cell proliferation and cell cycle through MET protein expression modulation.

RAS-MAPK pathway epigenetic activation in cancer: miRNAs in action
TL;DR: An experimental-validated map of RAS-MAPK oncomiRs and tumor suppressor miRNAs from transmembrane receptor to downstream ERK proteins is provided and could be further considered as potential genetic biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, or therapeutic purpose.

SomamiR 2.0: a database of cancer somatic mutations altering microRNA–ceRNA interactions
Anindya Bhattacharya,Yan Cui +1 more
TL;DR: The scope of the database was expanded by including somatic mutations that impact the interactions between miRNAs and two classes of non-coding RNAs, circ RNAs and lncRNAs, and data and functions from multiple sources including biological pathways and genome-wide association studies were updated and integrated with SomamiR 2.0.

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.
