Downregulation of MiR-31 stimulates expression of LATS2 via the hippo pathway and promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Journal of experimental & clinical cancer research : CR | 2017

Dysregulation of miRNAs is associated with cancer development by coordinately suppressing abundant target genes. Emerging evidence indicates that miR-31 plays a dual role in tumorigenicity. However, whether miR-31 plays as an oncogene in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and the potential target molecules are still unclear. MiR-31 role in ESCC was investigated and an association of the target molecules with EMT was identified in the progression of ESCC.

PicTar (tool)

RRID:SCR_003343

An algorithm for the identification of microRNA targets. Details are provided (3' UTR alignments with predicted sites, links to various public databases etc) regarding: # microRNA target predictions in vertebrates (Krek et al, Nature Genetics 37:495-500 (2005)) # microRNA target predictions in seven Drosophila species (Grn et al, PLoS Comp. Biol. 1:e13 (2005)) # microRNA targets in three nematode species (Lall et al, Current Biology 16, 1-12 (2006)) # human microRNA targets that are not conserved but co-expressed (i.e. the microRNA and mRNA are expressed in the same tissue) (Chen and Rajewsky, Nat Genet 38, 1452-1456 (2006)) co-expressed targets

TargetScan (tool)

RRID:SCR_010845

Web tool to predict biological targets of miRNAs by searching for presence of conserved 8mer, 7mer and 6mer sites that match seed region of each miRNA. Nonconserved sites are also predicted and sites with mismatches in seed region that are compensated by conserved 3' pairing. Used to search for predicted microRNA targets in mammals.

PITA (tool)

RRID:SCR_010853

Catalogs of predicted microRNA targets in worm (based on ce6 genome assembly), fly (dm3), mouse (mm9) and human (hg18). We follow standard seed parameter settings and consider seeds of length 6-8 bases, beginning at position 2 of the microRNA. No mismatches or loops are allowed, but a single G:U wobble is allowed in 7- or 8-mers. In genes missing a 3' UTR annotation, 500 bp (fly), 800 bp (human and mouse) or 300 bp (worm) downstream of the annotated end of the coding sequence were used as the predicted UTR. For each organism, a catalog with zero flank and with a flank of 3 and 15 bases upstream and downstream.
