Regulation of gene expression by microRNAs (miRNAs) is essential for normal development, but the roles of miRNAs in the physiology of adult animals are poorly understood. We have isolated a conditional allele of DGCR8/pash-1, which allows reversible and rapid inactivation of miRNA synthesis in vivo ...

To explore the role of miR-22 in the heart, we generated miR-22 null and transgenic mice. Cardiac transgenic overexpression of miR-22 in vivo led to cardiac hypertrophy that evolved into progressive dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in unstressed hearts. We found that miR-22 directly regulates two transc...

To explore the role of miR-22 in the heart, we generated miR-22 null and transgenic mice. Absence of miR-22 results in partial embryonic lethality arising from cardiac malformations. miR-22-null mice that survived until adulthood showed normal cardiac structure and function at baseline but were sens...

In nature, animals often face feast or famine conditions. We aimed to identify the miRNAs of Caenorhabditis elegans that changed their expression under starvation conditions in stage L4 larvae. Our results highlight 14 miRNAs that show differential expression in starved versus well-fed larvae. In pa...

During axon pathfinding, growth cones commonly exhibit changes in sensitivity to guidance cues that follow a strict timetable, even in the absence of pathway feedback, implicating cell-intrinsic regulation. Cellular timer mechanisms, however, are poorly understood. Here we have investigated microRNA...

We show that a gastrointestinal nematode that infects mice, Heligmosomoides polygyrus, secretes vesicles packaged with specific microRNAs (miRNAs) and Y RNAs as well as a nematode-specific Argonaute protein. The vesicles are of intestinal origin and are enriched for homologs of mammalian proteins fo...

These experiments were conducted as part of a study to derive the targets of miRNAs. Two independent BayGenomics mouse embryonic stem cell lines (XH157 and XG058), each bearing a gene trap between exons 9 and 10 of the Dgcr8 locus (ENSMUST00000115633, Ensembl v53) were further mutagenised by the tar...

B cells were extracted from spleens of mice treated with PNA a-miR155 and vehicle treated mice either wild type or mir-155 deficient. All mice received LPS to induce mir155 expression.

To reprogram mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs), we constructed the PiggyBac (PB) transposon carrying the four Yamanaka factor cDNAs controlled by a CAG promoter (PB-CAG-OCKS, Oct4, cMyc, Klf4 and Sox2). As the baseline reprogramming control, we transfected ...
