[HTML][HTML] Competing endogenous RNAs, non-coding RNAs and diseases: an intertwined story
U Ala - Cells, 2020 - mdpi.com
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small non-coding RNA molecules, are responsible for RNA
silencing and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. They can mediate a fine-…

[HTML][HTML] Coding-independent regulation of the tumor suppressor PTEN by competing endogenous mRNAs
Here, we demonstrate that protein-coding RNA transcripts can crosstalk by competing for
common microRNAs, with microRNA response elements as the foundation of this interaction. …

A PML–PPAR-δ pathway for fatty acid oxidation regulates hematopoietic stem cell maintenance
Stem-cell function is an exquisitely regulated process. Thus far, the contribution of metabolic
cues to stem-cell function has not been well understood. Here we identify a previously …

[HTML][HTML] In vivo identification of tumor-suppressive PTEN ceRNAs in an oncogenic BRAF-induced mouse model of melanoma
We recently proposed that competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) sequester microRNAs
to regulate mRNA transcripts containing common microRNA recognition elements (MREs). …

[HTML][HTML] MicroRNA-antagonism regulates breast cancer stemness and metastasis via TET-family-dependent chromatin remodeling
Tumor cells metastasize to distant organs through genetic and epigenetic alterations,
including changes in microRNA (miR) expression. Here we find miR-22 triggers epithelial-…

[HTML][HTML] The oncogenic microRNA miR-22 targets the TET2 tumor suppressor to promote hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal and transformation
MicroRNAs are frequently deregulated in cancer. Here we show that miR-22 is upregulated
in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and leukemia and its aberrant expression correlates …

Integrated transcriptional and competitive endogenous RNA networks are cross-regulated in permissive molecular environments
Competitive endogenous (ce)RNAs cross-regulate each other through sequestration of
shared microRNAs and form complex regulatory networks based on their microRNA signature. …

The BRAF pseudogene functions as a competitive endogenous RNA and induces lymphoma in vivo
Research over the past decade has suggested important roles for pseudogenes in physiology
and disease. In vitro experiments demonstrated that pseudogenes contribute to cell …

RNA-binding protein transcripts as potential biomarkers for detecting Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis and for predicting its progression to Cholangiocarcinoma
U Ala, S Fagoonee - Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2024 - frontiersin.org
Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) is a persistent inflammatory liver condition that affects
the bile ducts and is commonly diagnosed in young individuals. Despite efforts to …

Hypomethylation of smoking-related genes is associated with future lung cancer in four prospective cohorts
…, A Naccarati, M Chadeau-Hyam, U Ala… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
DNA hypomethylation in certain genes is associated with tobacco exposure but it is
unknown whether these methylation changes translate into increased lung cancer risk. In an …
