Post-transcriptional Up-regulation of Tsc-22 by Ybx1, a Target of miR-216a, Mediates TGF-β-induced Collagen Expression in Kidney Cells

TLDR
It is demonstrated that post-transcriptional regulation of Tsc-22 mediated through Ybx1, a miR-216a target, plays a key role in TGF-β-induced Col1a2 in MC related to the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.

Causes and consequences of microRNA dysregulation in cancer

TL;DR: Because malignant cells show dependence on the dysregulated expression of miRNA genes, which in turn control or are controlled by the dysregulation of multiple protein-coding oncogenes or tumour suppressor genes, these small RNAs provide important opportunities for the development of future miRNA-based therapies.
