Abstract: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small non-coding RNAs that are involved in regulating a range of developmental and physiological processes; their dysregulation has been associated with development of diseases including cancer. Circulating miRNAs and exosomal miRNAs have also been proposed as being useful in diagnostics as biomarkers for diseases and different types of cancer. In this review, miRNAs are discussed as biomarkers for cancer and other diseases, including viral infections, nervous system disorders, cardiovascular disorders, and diabetes. We summarize some of the clinical evidence for the use of miRNAs as biomarkers in diagnostics and provide some general perspectives on their use in clinical situations. The analytical challenges in using miRNAs in cancer and disease diagnostics are evaluated and discussed. Validation of specific miRNA signatures as biomarkers is a critical milestone in diagnostics.

miRNA-27a-3p and miRNA-222-3p as Novel Modulators of Phosphodiesterase 3a (PDE3A) in Cerebral Microvascular Endothelial Cells
S Yasmeen,Simranjeet Kaur,Aashiq H. Mirza,Birger Brodin,Flemming Pociot,Flemming Pociot,Christina Kruuse,Christina Kruuse +7 more
TL;DR: PDE3A-related miRNAs miR-221/miR-222 and mi-27a/mi R-27b/MiR-128 are potentially linked to pathways essential for immune regulation as well as cerebral and vascular integrity/function and a potential link to pathways relevant to cerebral andascular integrity and repair is indicated.
Non-Coding RNAs and Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia.
TL;DR: This review will explore the current literature on the involvement of ncRNAs in HHT as diagnostic and pathogenic factors.
Isothermal circular strand displacement–based assay for microRNA detection in liquid biopsy
TL;DR: In this paper , a hairpin probe-assisted isothermal amplification reaction was proposed for the detection of extracellular miRNAs in liquid biopsies and validated the assay to detect circulating miR-127-5p in synovial fluid.
Highly expressed microRNA-940 promotes early abortion by regulating placenta implantation by targeting ZNF672.
TL;DR: MicroRNA-940 is highly expressed in the placental villi of earlyabortion pregnancies and promotes the occurrence of early abortion by inhibiting the proliferation of trophoblast cells by targeting ZNF672.

Evelyn Winter,Julia Cisilotto,André L.F. Goetten,Angela Patricia Medeiros Veiga,Adriano Tony Ramos,F. C. Zimermann,Carolina Reck,Tânia Beatriz Creczynski-Pasa +7 more
TL;DR: In this article , the miRNA profiling was used to identify potential diagnostic biomarkers for Senecio brasiliensis poisoning in cattle, i.e., miRNAs are non-coding RNA, stable in biological fluids, and their difference in expression levels may indicate the presence of the poisoning.

TL;DR: Although they escaped notice until relatively recently, miRNAs comprise one of the more abundant classes of gene regulatory molecules in multicellular organisms and likely influence the output of many protein-coding genes.

The C. elegans heterochronic gene lin-4 encodes small RNAs with antisense complementarity to lin-14
TL;DR: Two small lin-4 transcripts of approximately 22 and 61 nt were identified in C. elegans and found to contain sequences complementary to a repeated sequence element in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of lin-14 mRNA, suggesting that lin- 4 regulates lin- 14 translation via an antisense RNA-RNA interaction.

Exosome-mediated transfer of mRNAs and microRNAs is a novel mechanism of genetic exchange between cells
TL;DR: It is shown that exosomes contain both mRNA and microRNA, which can be delivered to another cell, and can be functional in this new location, and it is proposed that this RNA is called “exosomal shuttle RNA” (esRNA).
The functions of animal microRNAs
TL;DR: Evidence is mounting that animal miRNAs are more numerous, and their regulatory impact more pervasive, than was previously suspected.

TL;DR: A new, bead-based flow cytometric miRNA expression profiling method is used to present a systematic expression analysis of 217 mammalian miRNAs from 334 samples, including multiple human cancers, and finds the miRNA profiles are surprisingly informative, reflecting the developmental lineage and differentiation state of the tumours.
