What Is Micro RNA?

3’

5’
miRNA

Seed region

Endogenously expressed small functional RNAs (~ 21nt -24 nt)
Regulate mRNA expression post-transcriptionally
Involves the formation of RISC (RNA induced Silencing Complex)
Translational Repression and or mRNA degradation

Only partial sequence complementarity required
A given miRNA can regulate multiple mRNAs
A given mRNA can be regulated by multiple miRNAs
Another layer of complexity for regulating gene expression

Aberrant expression of miRNAs is associated with many diseases
e.g. Many different Cancers

Sample & Assay Technologies
Canonical pathway of microRNA biogenesis
Transcribed by RNA Polymerase II as
a long primary transcript (pri-miRNAs),
which may contain more than one miRNA.
In the nucleus, Pri-miRNAs are processed to
hairpin-like pre-miRNAs by RNAse III-like
enzyme Drosha
Pre-miRNAs are then exported to the
Cytosol by Exportin 5
In the cytosol RNAse III-like Dicer processes
these precursors to mature miRNAs
These miRNAs are incorporated in RISC
miRNAs with high homology to the target
mRNA lead to mRNA cleavage
miRNAs with imperfect base pairing to the
target mRNA lead to translational repression
and/or mRNA degradation

miRNA genomic structure

Intergenic miRNA genes: either monocistronic or polycistronic with a common promoter
Intronic miRNA genes: present in the introns of protein coding or noncoding genes, can
also be in clusters, transcribed by the host gene promoter
Exonic miRNAs genes: rare and often overlap an exon and an intron of a noncoding gene
miRNAs can be transcribed from the negative strand within or near a protein coding gene

A growing picture of miRNA dysregulation in cancer pathways

In the last 5 years, a substantial number of studies have associated
various miRNAs with cell proliferation, resistance to apoptosis, differentiation,
immunity and cancer initiation, progression and metastasis.
.

.

For example:

.

Deletions of miRNA-regulated genes have been detected in more than 65%
of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cases, in 50% of mantle-cell lymphomas, in
16% to 40% of multiple myelomas, and in 60% of prostate cancers.
Other miRNA abnormalities have been reported in a wide variety of
Human neoplasms, including other hematologic malignancies such as
promyelocytic leukemia
Benign tumors such as leiomyoma and pituitary adenoma
Multiple types of carcinomas, including pancreatic, esophageal,
thyroid, lung, and breast
Neuroblastomas and glioblastomas

-8-

Sample & Assay Technologies
Why Analyze miRNA?
Easy to profile entire miRNome with only ~1000 miRNAs

.

Complexity of miRNA/mRNA interaction makes them exciting and
unknown epigenetic mechanism of gene regulation
.

miRNA regulated genes are involved in a variety of biological
processes
Cancer
Development
Immunology
Aging
Heart Diseases
Neurological Diseases
Diabetes
.

miRNAs are promising biomarkers for early disease detection and prognosis

Application Example: miRNA & Pathway Activity
The let-7 family of miRNAs is widely viewed as playing a role in tumor suppression.

.

Expression of let-7 family members is downregulated in many cancer types and during tumor
progression in comparison to normal tissue.

.

Humans have 10 mature let-7 family sequences (let-7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, 7e, 7f, 7g, 7i, miR-98, and
miR-202)

.

Interestingly, certain let-7 species are also known to be upregulated in some cancer types.
These data on the expression of let-7 in various cancers indicate that individual let-7 family
members can have different activities.

.

Question: Which let-7 family members effect cell cycle progression and
how?

  • 3. miRNA Analysis: From Cellular to Molecular Isolation miRNeasy miRNA Studies Target Identification Expression miScript miRNA PCR Arrays SureFIND Transcriptome PCR Arrays Function miRNA mimics & inhibitors Cignal Reporters -3- Sample & Assay Technologies
  • 4. What Is Micro RNA? RISC Target mRNA 5’ CDS 3’ 3’ 5’ miRNA Seed region Endogenously expressed small functional RNAs (~ 21nt -24 nt) Regulate mRNA expression post-transcriptionally Involves the formation of RISC (RNA induced Silencing Complex) Translational Repression and or mRNA degradation Only partial sequence complementarity required A given miRNA can regulate multiple mRNAs A given mRNA can be regulated by multiple miRNAs Another layer of complexity for regulating gene expression Aberrant expression of miRNAs is associated with many diseases e.g. Many different Cancers -4- Sample & Assay Technologies
  • 5. Canonical pathway of microRNA biogenesis Transcribed by RNA Polymerase II as a long primary transcript (pri-miRNAs), which may contain more than one miRNA. In the nucleus, Pri-miRNAs are processed to hairpin-like pre-miRNAs by RNAse III-like enzyme Drosha Pre-miRNAs are then exported to the Cytosol by Exportin 5 In the cytosol RNAse III-like Dicer processes these precursors to mature miRNAs These miRNAs are incorporated in RISC miRNAs with high homology to the target mRNA lead to mRNA cleavage miRNAs with imperfect base pairing to the target mRNA lead to translational repression and/or mRNA degradation -5- Sample & Assay Technologies
  • 6. miRNA genomic structure Intergenic miRNA genes: either monocistronic or polycistronic with a common promoter Intronic miRNA genes: present in the introns of protein coding or noncoding genes, can also be in clusters, transcribed by the host gene promoter Exonic miRNAs genes: rare and often overlap an exon and an intron of a noncoding gene miRNAs can be transcribed from the negative strand within or near a protein coding gene -6- Sample & Assay Technologies

  • 8. A growing picture of miRNA dysregulation in cancer pathways In the last 5 years, a substantial number of studies have associated various miRNAs with cell proliferation, resistance to apoptosis, differentiation, immunity and cancer initiation, progression and metastasis. . . For example: . Deletions of miRNA-regulated genes have been detected in more than 65% of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cases, in 50% of mantle-cell lymphomas, in 16% to 40% of multiple myelomas, and in 60% of prostate cancers. Other miRNA abnormalities have been reported in a wide variety of Human neoplasms, including other hematologic malignancies such as promyelocytic leukemia Benign tumors such as leiomyoma and pituitary adenoma Multiple types of carcinomas, including pancreatic, esophageal, thyroid, lung, and breast Neuroblastomas and glioblastomas -8- Sample & Assay Technologies
  • 9. Why Analyze miRNA? Easy to profile entire miRNome with only ~1000 miRNAs . Complexity of miRNA/mRNA interaction makes them exciting and unknown epigenetic mechanism of gene regulation . miRNA regulated genes are involved in a variety of biological processes Cancer Development Immunology Aging Heart Diseases Neurological Diseases Diabetes . miRNAs are promising biomarkers for early disease detection and prognosis -9- Sample & Assay Technologies
