Abstract

microRNAs (miRNAs) are abundant, approximately 21-nucleotide, noncoding regulatory RNAs. Each miRNA may regulate hundreds of mRNA targets, but the identities of these targets and the processes they regulate are poorly understood. Here we have explored the use of microarray profiling and functional screening to identify targets and biological processes triggered by the transfection of human cells with miRNAs. We demonstrate that a family of miRNAs sharing sequence identity with miRNA-16 (miR-16) negatively regulates cellular growth and cell cycle progression. miR-16-down-regulated transcripts were enriched with genes whose silencing by small interfering RNAs causes an accumulation of cells in G(0)/G(1). Simultaneous silencing of these genes was more effective at blocking cell cycle progression than disruption of the individual genes. Thus, miR-16 coordinately regulates targets that may act in concert to control cell cycle progression.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Members of the miR-15/107 family have overlapping mRNA targets.

    “These miRNAs have overlapping targets.”
  • Since miR-15/107 miRNAs have highly overlapping targets and multiple members are transcribed at constitutively high levels, any therapeutic or diagnostic method based on one family member must also take into account the biological activities of other family members.

    “In other words, since miR-15/107 miRNAs have highly overlapping targets [7,16,41], and multiple members of the gene family are transcribed at constitutively high levels, any therapeutic or diagnostic method based on one family member must also take into account the biological activities of other family members.”
  • The miR-16 family of miRNAs regulates the G0 to G1 transition.

    “It has previously been shown that the miR-16 family of miRNAs has a role in regulating G0 to G1 transition139.”

  • Silencing transcripts that miR-16 downregulates also affects cell cycle progression.

    “Intriguingly, silencing of transcripts that are downregulated by miR-16 also affects cell cycle progression139.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
