The mechanisms that regulate miR-574-3p expression in cells remain elusive. In the present study, we used real-time PCR assay to demonstrate TGF-β1-induced miR-574-3p upregulation in AGS cells, which was inhibited by TGF-β receptor I inhibitor SB431542. We used a computer search to identify Smad binding sites upstream of the miR-574-3p precursor sequence. We demonstrated that silencing Smad4, but...
As the most common form of birth defect in humans, congenital heart disease (CHD) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality in both children and adults. Increasing evidence demonstrates that genetic defects play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of CHD. However, CHD is of great heterogeneity, and in an overwhelming majority of cases, the genetic determinants underpinning CHD remain elusive...
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most prevalent developmental abnormality in humans and is the most common non-infectious cause of infant morbidity and mortality. Increasing evidence demonstrates that genetic defects are involved in the pathogenesis of CHD. However, CHD is genetically heterogeneous, and the genetic determinants underpinning CHD in most patients remain unknown. In this study,...
Transmembrane protein 95 (TMEM95) is closely related to male reproductive performance in cattle, but does not affect semen quality. Alternative splicing plays an important role in regulating biological function as well as in generating proteomic and functional diversity in metazoan organisms. Thus, the aim of this study was to clone and identify transcripts of the TMEM95 gene in cattle using RT-PCR,...
Growing number of long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) have recently been identified in mammals as new modulators in cancer origination and progression involved in a broad range of biological processes. Long intergenic noncoding RNA POU3F3 (linc-POU3F3) has been characterized as a highly conserved functional transcription regulator in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The contributions of this...
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the most frequent type of primary myocardial disorder responsible for substantial morbidity and mortality. DCM is the third most common cause of heart failure and the most common reason for heart transplantation. A recent study has implicated GATA4 mutation in the pathogenesis of familial DCM. However, the prevalence and spectrum of GATA4 mutations associated with sporadic...
While posttranslational regulation of p53 levels by its interaction with the ubiquitin ligase MDM2 is widely accepted, it has recently become clear that regulation of p53 translation also contributes to p53 induction following DNA damage. However, the mechanisms underlying the translational control of p53 are still poorly understood. In this review, we will focus on the translational regulation of...
