Wnt-Signaling Regulated by Glucocorticoid-Induced miRNAs.

ABSTRACT: Glucocorticoids (GCs) are pleiotropic hormones which regulate innumerable physiological processes. Their comprehensive effects are due to the diversity of signaling mechanism networks. MiRNAs, small, non-coding RNAs contribute to the fine tuning of signaling pathways and reciprocal regulation between GCs and miRNAs has been suggested. Our aim was to investigate the expressional change and potential function of GC mediated miRNAs. The miRNA expression profile was measured in three models: human adrenocortical adenoma vs. normal tissue, steroid-producing H295R cells and in hormonally inactive HeLa cells before and after dexamethasone treatment. The gene expression profile in 82 control and 57 GC-affected samples was evaluated in GC producing and six different GC target tissue types. Tissue-s
