MicroRNAs (miRNAs) control gene expression by promoting degradation or repressing translation of target mRNAs. The components of the miRNA pathway are subject to diverse modifications that can modulate the abundance and function of miRNAs. Iron is essential for fundamental metabolic processes, and its homeostasis is tightly regulated. Here we identified iron chelators as a class of activator of the miRNA pathway that could promote the processing of miRNA precursors. We show that cytosolic iron could regulate the activity of the miRNA pathway through poly(C)-binding protein 2 (PCBP2). PCBP2 is associated with Dicer and promotes the processing of miRNA precursors. Cytosolic iron could modulate the association between PCBP2 and Dicer, as well as the multimerization of PCBP2 and its ability to bind to miRNA precursors, which can alter the processing of miRNA precursors. Our findings reveal a role of iron homeostasis in the regulation of miRNA biogenesis. 相似文献

Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are valuable tools for analyzing protein function in mammalian cell culture. This success has led to high expectations for in vivo and therapeutic applications. However, the pharmacokinetic properties of siRNA are not known. Here we report the biodistribution of a phosphodiester (PO) siRNA duplex and examine the effect of phosphorothioate (PS) linkages. Our findings indicate that biodistribution of siRNA is similar to that for single-stranded antisense oligonucleotides and offer insights for use of siRNA in vivo. 相似文献

Biochemical mechanisms of the RNA-induced silencing complex 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
In less than 10 years since its inception, RNA interference (RNAi) has had extraordinary impact on biomedical science. RNAi has been demonstrated to influence numerous biological and disease pathways. Development and adoption of RNAi technologies have been prolific ranging from basic loss-of-function tools, genome-wide screening libraries to pharmaceutical target validation and therapeutic development. However, understanding of the molecular mechanisms of RNAi is far from complete. The purpose of this brief review is to highlight key achievements in elucidating the bio- chemical mechanisms of the RNA-induced silencing complex and to outline major challenges for the field. 相似文献

Estrogen has been shown to reduce post-exercise skeletal muscle damage. Exercise-induced muscle damage may be a factor in the elevated post-exercise expression of heat-shock proteins (HSPs). Thus, the present investigation was conducted in order to examine the influence of estrogen on post-exercise levels of HSP 72 and heat-shock cognate, HSC 73, in male and female rodents. Prior to an acute bout of treadmill running, male and female Sprague-Dawley rats received daily injections of either 40 microg x kg(-1) of beta-estradiol 3-benzoate or olive oil vehicle for 2 weeks. A two- to fourfold reduction in post-exercise HSP 72 content was observed in the heart, liver, lung and red and white vastus muscles of estradiol-treated males compared with their vehicle-injected counterparts (P < 0.05). Compared to the males, the females had significantly lower post-exercise HSP 72 levels which were not affected by estradiol supplementation. Moreover, estradiol administration in male rodents resulted in a HSP response similar to that of females following exercise. Thus, the results of the present investigation suggest that estrogen is the factor responsible for the observed differences in post-exercise HSP 72 levels between males and females. 相似文献
