TLDR
Overexpression of pre-miR-206 reduced ERα and β-actin protein levels, with no effect on ERβ, E-cadherin, or glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.Abstract:
Micro-RNAs are small noncoding RNAs, which diminish the stability and/or translation of mRNAs. This study examined whether miR-206, previously shown to be elevated in estrogen receptor (ER)α-negative breast cancer, regulates the expression of ERα. Two putative miR-206 sites, (hERα1 and hERα2), were found in silico within the 3′-untranslated region of human ERα mRNA. Transfection of MCF-7 cells with pre-miR-206 or 2′-O-methyl antagomiR-206 specifically decreased or increased, respectively, ERα mRNA levels. Overexpression of pre-miR-206 reduced ERα and β-actin protein levels, with no effect on ERβ, E-cadherin, or glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Reporter constructs containing the hERα1 or hERα2 binding sites inserted into the 3′-untranslated region of the luciferase mRNA conferred a 1.6- and 2.2-fold repression of luciferase activity, respectively, in HeLa cells. Both miR-206 sites responded accordingly to exogenous hsa-pre-miR-206 and 2′-O-methyl antagomiR-206, and both sites were rendered inactiv...read more

Multivesicular bodies associate with components of miRNA effector complexes and modulate miRNA activity
TL;DR: It is proposed that this process promotes continuous assembly or disassembly of membrane-associated miRISCs, which is possibly required for miRNA loading or target recognition and subsequent silencing.

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.

Oncomirs : microRNAs with a role in cancer
TL;DR: 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.
