microRNA (miRNA) are critical post-transcriptional regulators and key players in diseases development. We demonstrated that non-canonical microRNA Responsive Elements (here MRE-16) could sequester miR-16, dampening miR-16 tumor suppressor function. We developed small oligonucleotides, masking specifically these unusual miR-16 binding sites, that restored miR-16 function. This constitutes a promising targeted approach.
微小RNA(miRNA)是关键的转录后调节因子,也是疾病发展中的关键参与者。我们证明了非经典微小RNA反应元件(此处为MRE-16)可以隔离miR-16,抑制miR-16的肿瘤抑制功能。我们开发了小寡核苷酸,特异性地掩盖这些异常的miR-16结合位点,从而恢复了miR-16的功能。这构成了一种有前景的靶向方法。
