Type I PIP5Kα negatively regulates NGF-induced neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells
… a stable PC12 cell line lacking PIP5KIa by microRNA (miRNA) expression, leading to decreased PtdIns(4,5)P2 level. Results show that neurite outgrowth induced by nerve growth factor (NGF) was more prominent in PIP5KIa-deficient cells than in control miRNA-expressing cells. Reintroduction of …

Bone Characterization of Dicer Deficient Transgenic Mice Under Dmp1 Promoter
… and highly expressed in early-stage osteocytes. MicroRNA (miRNA) are small, single-stranded non-coding RNA molecules that function in RNA inactivation and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. To be fully functional, miRNAs are cleaved by the enzyme “Dicer”. This study aims to …

Regulation of Exercise-Dependent Cardiac Growth by MicroRNAs
… thesis, I present my studies on the function of microRNAs during exercise-induced cardiac remodeling. First, I show the expression of muscle-specific microRNA (miRNA), miR-499, is down-regulated by voluntary free-wheel running in hearts of mice. I hypothesized the reduction of miR-499 may be …

CHARACTERIZATION OF FRONTAL CORTICAL CIRCGRIN2B_011731 IN OPIOID-INDUCED NEUROADAPATIONS
… and examine expression of potential circGrin2b microRNA (miRNA)-sponge targets. We validated circGrin2b interactions with miR-26b-3p and miR-100-3p utilizing a luciferase binding assay. Sponging of these 2 miRNA targets can have extensive impact of translation of miRNA-repressed genes, as both …

Impacts of microRNAs on Skeletal Muscle Protein Synthesis and Mitochondrial Quality
<p>microRNA (miRNA) post-transcriptional modification is becoming a well-established mechanism for controlling mRNA translation. microRNAs -1, -133, and -206 are under the control of skeletal muscle promoters and affect muscle plasticity and metabolic health. A detailed review on the generation and …

Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Innervation and ALS Pathogenesis by MicroRNA 206
… thesis, I present my studies on the function of microRNAs in neuromuscular synapse regeneration and neurodegenerative disease. First, I show that the expression of a muscle-specific microRNA (miRNA), miR-206, is dramatically upregulated following surgical denervation of skeletal muscle and in a …

Exploring the global gene expression programs and regulation in the response of quiescent human fibroblasts to distinct proliferative stimuli
… which was not observed in the Myc data. MicroRNA (miRNA) expression profiling indicated that let7 and other miRNAs with similar expression profiles may be involved in regulating the transcriptional program in response to proliferative signals. Our results indicate that conservation of …

Inhibition of the autophagy pathway modulates osteosarcoma chemoresistance
… autophagic clearance of p62. Autophagy-related microRNA (miRNA) expression was found to be decreased in chemotherapy-treated HOS-143B cells. To investigate the role of the key autophagy gene ATG7, CRISPR/Cas9 technology was employed to disrupt ATG7 (ATG7-/-), resulting in the inhibition of …

A cause for consilience: Utilizing multiple genomic data types to resolve problematic nodes within Arthropoda and Ecdysozoa
… data sets was investigated. EST and rRNA and microRNA (miRNA) data were sampled across all major ecdysozoan phyla. In particular, a major contribution of this thesis is the first time sequencing of miRNAs for all the panarthropod phyla. MicroRNAs are genome regulatory elements that recently …

MicroRNA expression and function in neonatal hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy
… biomarker of HIE severity must be identified. MicroRNA (miRNA) are a class of small non-coding RNA molecules which have potential as biomarkers of disease state and potential therapeutic targets. These tiny molecules can modulate gene expression by inhibiting translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) …

Mammalian gene regulation through the 3' UTR
… the message. We explored two classes of motifs, microRNA (miRNA) complementary sites and cleavage and polyadenylation (poly(A)) signals, and provide evidence that specific sequence contextual features are important for their recognition. MiRNAs are 22 nt, non-coding RNAs that function as …

Cell cycle regulatory proteins and miRNAs in premalignant lesions and breast cancer
… We have also observed that the expression of the microRNA (miRNA) miR-92a could provide independent prognostic information in breast cancer patients, and loss of miR-92a was associated with more severe breast cancer traits. The earliest histologically identifiable breast lesion with an increased …

The Role of MicroRNAs in Craniofacial Development
… arch have been studied; however, the role of microRNA (miRNA) in mammalian palatal development has not been elucidated. miRNA are a class of short 19-21 nt noncoding RNA whose function is in the repression and attenuation of translation of their target mRNA. The function of specific miRNA is …

Robustness and tunability in biological networks/ by Shankar Mukherji.
… we turn our attention to gene regulation by microRNA (miRNA). MiRNAs are short regulatory RNA molecules that repress gene expression in a sequence-dependent manner. By observing the strength of miRNA-mediated repression in individual cells, we show that the strength of repression depends …
