Abstract

microRNAs edit the message New work on microRNAs (miRNAs) sheds light on the nature of tissue-specific gene expression in humans. miRNAs act in plants and animals to regulate gene expression. Microarray analysis of messenger RNAs expressed in human cells containing miR-124, an miRNA expressed in the brain, or miR-1, found in muscle, shows that the miRNAs skew a cell's expression profile to resemble that of the miRNA's ‘home’ cells, regardless of source. This involves the downregulation of many target mRNA transcripts, as well as reduction of the amount of protein produced.
