The miR-29 family: genomics, cell biology, and relevance to renal and cardiovascular injury

Kriegel, Alison J., Liu, Yong, Fang, Yi, Ding, Xiaoqiang, Liang, Mingyu·2012·Physiological Genomics

Abstract

The human miR-29 family of microRNAs has three mature members, miR-29a, miR-29b, and miR-29c. miR-29s are encoded by two gene clusters. Binding sites for several transcriptional factors have been identified in the promoter regions of miR-29 genes. The miR-29 family members share a common seed region sequence and are predicted to target largely overlapping sets of genes. However, the miR-29 family members exhibit differential regulation in several cases and different subcellular distribution, suggesting their functional relevance may not be identical. miR-29s directly target at least 16 extracellular matrix genes, providing a dramatic example of a single microRNA targeting a large group of functionally related genes. Strong antifibrotic effects of miR-29s have been demonstrated in heart, kidney, and other organs. miR-29s have also been shown to be proapoptotic and involved in the regulation of cell differentiation. It remains to be explored how various cellular effects of miR-29s determine functional relevance of miR-29s to specific diseases and how the miR-29 family members may function cooperatively or separately.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

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?

  • The gene encoding precursors of both miR-29b-1 and miR-29a is located on Chromosome 7, whereas the coding gene for both miR-29b-2 and miR-29c is on Chromosome 1.

    “The gene encoding the precursors of both miR-29b-1 and miR-29a is located on Chromosome 7, whereas the coding gene for both miR-29b-2 and miR-29c is on Chromosome 1 [14].”
  • The human miR-29 family includes three mature members, miR-29a, miR-29b and miR-29c, encoded by two gene clusters.

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.
