MICRORNA研究经典文献 MicroRNAs (miRNAs)是一种大小约21—23个碱基的单链小分子RNA，是由具有发夹结构的约70-90个碱基大小的单链RNA前体经过dicer酶加工后生成，不同于siRNA（双链）但是和siRNA密切相关。据推测，这些非编码小分子RNA（miRNAs）参与调控基因表达，但其机制区别于siRNA介导的mRNA降解。第一个被确认的miRNA是在线虫中首次发现的lin-4 和let-7，随后多个研究小组在包括人类、果蝇、植物等多种生物物种中鉴别出数百个miRNAs。　　最早被发现的两个miRNAs——lin-4 and let-7被认为是通过不完全互补结合到目标靶mRNA 3’非编码区端，以一种未知方式诱发蛋白质翻译抑制，进而抑制蛋白质合成，阻断mRNA的翻译。多个果蝇miRNAs也被发现和他们的目标靶mRNAs的3’非编码区有部分同源。由于miRNAs和其潜在的目标靶之间并非完全互补，这使得通过信息学的方法鉴定miRNA的目标靶位点变得困难。因而也无法确定miRNAs的作用方式是什么，以何种机制影响mRNA的翻译，以何种方式调控基因表达。miRNAs的作用目标靶和活性机制一直是各地的研究人员的关注热点。 一些microrna Conserved seed pairing, often flanked by adenosines, indicates that thousands of human genes aremicroRNA?targets 作者:?Lewis, BP; Burge, CB; Bartel, DP CELL??卷:?120???期:?1???页:?15-20???出版年:?JAN 14 2005 出版商处的全文 ??关闭摘要 We predict regulatory targets of vertebrate microRNAs (miRNAs) by identifying mRNAs with conserved complementarity to the seed (nucleotides 2-7) of the miRNA. An overrepresentation of conserved adenosines flanking the seed complementary sites in mRNAs indicates that primary sequence determinants can supplement base pairing to specify miRNA target recognition. In a four-genome analysis of 3 UTRs, approximately 13,000 regulatory relationships were detected above the estimate of false-positive predictions, thereby implicating as miRNA targets more than 5300 human genes, which represented 30% of our gene set. Targeting was also detected in open reading frames. In sum, well over one third of human genes appear to be conserved miRNA targets. 被引频次:?4,546?(来自所有数据库) MicroRNA?expression profiles classify human cancers 作者:?Lu, J; Getz, G; Miska, EA; 等.

Here we use a new, bead-based flow cytometric miRNA expression profiling method to present a systematic expression analysis of 217 mammalian
