چکیده
Objective(s):An earlier meta-analysis on gene expression data derived from four microarray, two cDNA library, and one SAGE experiment had identified RGS۵ as one of only ten non-housekeeping genes that were reported to be expressed in human trabecular meshwork (TM) cells by all studies. RGS۵ encodes regulator of G-protein signaling-۵. The TM tissue is the route of aqueous fluid outflow, and is relevant to the pathology of glaucoma. MicroRNAs constitute the most recently identified components of the cellular machinery for gene regulation in eukaryotic cells. Given our long standing interest in glaucoma, we aimed to identify miRNAs that may target RGS۵. Materials and Methods: Eight miRNAs were selected for study using bioinformatics tools and available data on miRNAs expressed in the eye. Their effects were assessed using the dual luciferase assay. ۳'-UTR segments of RGS۵ mRNA were cloned downstream of a luciferase coding gene in psiCHECK۲ vectors, and these were co-transfected with each of the miRNAs into HEK۲۹۳ cells. Results: The outcomes evidenced that one or more of the segments are in fact targeted by miR-۷, miR-۹, miR-۹۶, miR-۲۳a, miR-۲۳b, miR-۲۰۴, and miR-۲۱۱. Down regulations by the miRNAs were statistically significant. The effect of miR-۲۰۴ is considered particularly important as this miRNA is well known to regulate eye development and to affect multiple ocular functions. Conclusion: Our results justify further studies on regulation of RGS۵ expression and RGS۵ downstream functions by these miRNAs.کلیدواژه ها

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.
کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
