Introduction of miRNA
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small noncoding RNAs (20 – 23
nucleotides) that negatively regulate the gene expressions at the
posttranscriptional level by base pairing to the 3' untranslated region of target
messenger RNAs.
Hundreds of miRNAs have been identified in humans and evolutionarily
conserved from plants to animals.
It is revealed that miRNAs regulate various physiological and pathological
pathways such as cell differentiation, cell proliferation, and tumoriogenesis.

Apoptosis
Apoptosis describes the orchestrated collapse of a cell characterised
by membrane blebbing, cell shrinkage, condensation of chromatin,
and fragmentation of DNA followed by rapid engulfment of the
corpse by neighbouring cells.
It is distinguished from death by necrosis by the absence of an
associated inflammatory response.

Conclusion
Progresses on the biology of miRNAs greatly
enhance our understanding of their functions
with respect to basic mechanisms of oncogenesis
and diagnostics and prognostics.
cell-free miRNAs might play an increasing
role as non-invasive tools for the detection
of cancer in early stages and as biomarker
to monitor prognosis and response to
therapy. However, knowledge on the
biological functions of extracellular miRNAs
is in its infancy.

M.Koolivand MSc 7 Introduction of miRNA MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small noncoding RNAs (20 – 23 nucleotides) that negatively regulate the gene expressions at the posttranscriptional level by base pairing to the 3' untranslated region of target messenger RNAs. Hundreds of miRNAs have been identified in humans and evolutionarily conserved from plants to animals. It is revealed that miRNAs regulate various physiological and pathological pathways such as cell differentiation, cell proliferation, and tumoriogenesis.

  3. In complex organisms, miRNAs regulate a wide range of biological processes, including development, differentiation, proliferation, cell metabolism and apoptosis (programmed cell death). Dysregulation of individual or subset of miRNAs is linked with the pathogenesis of human diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, viral infections and metabolic diseases. The first insight into their function was a result of phenotypic studies of mutations that disrupt basic components of the miRNA pathway. As mentioned before, the primary role of miRNAs is gene regulation; today it is know that they regulate the expression of more than 10 000 genes in a single cell. Such cellular effects of miRNAs can be seen in a myriad of different cells – i.e. in cancer cells, cardiovascular cells or skin cells. MicroRNA Cellular Functions

  5. نقش اپی ژنتیک و از دست نویس های ترجمه ای تو برگه اچاراااا Epigenetic control of cellular differentiation Since each cell, regardless of cell type, possesses the same genome, determination of cell type must occur at the level of gene expression. While the regulation of gene expression can occur through cisand transregulatory elements including a gene’s promoter and enhancers, the problem arises as to how this expression pattern is maintained over numerous generations of cell division. As it turns out, epigenetic processes play a crucial role in regulating the decision to adopt a stem, progenitor, or mature cell fate. This section will focus primarily on mammalian stem cells. In systems biology and mathematical modeling of gene regulatory networks, cellfate determination is predicted to exhibit certain dynamics, such as attractorconvergence (the attractor can be an equilibrium point, limit cycle or strange attractor) or oscillatory.[18] Importance of epigenetic control The first question that can be asked is the extent and complexity of the role of epigenetic processes in the determination of cell fate. A clear answer to this question can be seen in the 2011 paper by Lister R, et al. [19] on aberrant epigenomic programming in human induced pluripotent stem cells. As induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are thought to mimic embryonic stem cells in their pluripotent properties, few epigenetic differences should exist between them. To test this prediction, the authors conducted wholegenome profiling of DNA methylation patterns in several human embryonic stem cell (ESC), iPSC, and progenitor cell lines. Female adipose cells, lung fibroblasts, and foreskin fibroblasts were reprogrammed into induced pluripotent state with the OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and MYC genes. Patterns of DNA methylation in ESCs, iPSCs, somatic cells were compared. Lister R, et al. observed significant resemblance in methylation levels between embryonic and induced pluripotent cells. Around 80% of CG dinucleotides in ESCs and iPSCs were methylated, the same was true of only 60% of CG dinucleotides in somatic cells. In addition, somatic cells possessed minimal levels of cytosine methylation in nonCG dinucleotides, while induced pluripotent cells possessed similar levels of methylation as embryonic stem cells, between 0.5 and 1.5%. Thus, consistent with their respective transcriptional activities,[19] DNA methylation patterns, at least on the genomic level, are similar between ESCs and iPSCs. However, upon examining methylation patterns more closely, the authors discovered 1175 regions of differential CG dinucleotide methylation between at least one ES or iPS cell line. By comparing these regions of differential methylation with regions of cytosine methylation in the original somatic cells, 4449% of differentially methylated regions reflected methylation patterns of the respective progenitor somatic cells, while 5156% of these regions were dissimilar to both the progenitor and embryonic cell lines. In vitroinduced differentiation of iPSC lines saw transmission of 88% and 46% of hyper and hypomethylated differentially methylated regions, respectively. Two conclusions are readily apparent from this study. First, epigenetic processes are heavily involved in cell fate determination, as seen from the similar levels of cytosine methylation between induced pluripotent and embryonic stem cells, consistent with their respective patterns of transcription. Second, the mechanisms of dedifferentiation (and by extension, differentiation) are very complex and cannot be easily duplicated, as seen by the significant number of differentially methylated regions between ES and iPS cell lines. Now that these two points have been established, we can examine some of the epigenetic mechanisms that are thought to regulate cellular differentiation. Mechanisms of epigenetic regulation Pioneering factors (Oct4, Sox2, Nanog) Three transcription factors, OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG – the first two of which are used in iPSC reprogramming – are highly expressed in undifferentiated embryonic stem cells and are necessary for the maintenance of their pluripotency.[20] It is thought that they achieve this through alterations in chromatin structure, such as histone modification and DNA methylation, to restrict or permit the transcription of target genes. Polycomb repressive complex (PRC2) In the realm of gene silencing, Polycomb repressive complex 2, one of two classes of the Polycomb group (PcG) family of proteins, catalyzes the diand trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me2/me3).[21][20][22] By binding to the H3K27me2/3tagged nucleosome, PRC1 (also a complex of PcG family proteins) catalyzes the monoubiquitinylation of histone H2A at lysine 119 (H2AK119Ub1), blocking RNA polymerase II activity and resulting in transcriptional suppression.[20] PcG knockout ES cells do not differentiate efficiently into the three germ layers, and deletion of the PRC1 and PRC2 genes leads to increased expression of lineageaffiliated genes and unscheduled differentiation.[20] Presumably, PcG complexes are responsible for transcriptionally repressing differentiation and developmentpromoting genes.

  11. Circulating miRNAs in cancer: from detection to Therapy MicroRNA and their involvement in anticancer drug resistance. Drug resistance can occur at many levels, including drug efflux, alterations in drug target, DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, and evasion of apoptosis. Some selected miRNAs which have been demonstrated to alter these mechanisms are shown in this figure :Molecular Mechanisms Underlying the Role of MicroRNAs in the Chemoresistance of Pancreatic Cancer The “macro” world of microRNAs in hepatocellular Carcinoma Application of MicroRNA in Diagnosis and Treatment of Ovarian Cancer Mechanisms and role of microRNA deregulation in cancer onset and progression
  12. Finally, although there are large numbers of reports on the functions of miRNAs in the development of cancer, the complex gene networks affected by them remains a considerable problem. The complex relationships between miRNAs and their functional pathways must be demonstrated. With the understanding of the origin, stability, their role in cell-cell communication and advances in methods to detect circulating miRNAs, we believe that, in the future, they will become a cancer buster: From detection to therapy.
