Understanding of the molecular basis of host cell-miRNA interactions is prerequisite to the successful application of miRNAs as potential therapeutic agents. We studied the morphological and molecular consequences of over expression of three sequence divergent miRNAs previously implicated in the mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition process (MET) in three distinct mesenchymal-like cancer cell lines. The ability of miRNAs to induce morphological changes characteristic of MET positively correlated with induced changes in the expression of genes previously implicated in the process. Variability in the responses of different mesenchymal-like cells to over expression of the same miRNAs was attributable to inherent differences in trans-regulatory profiles pre-disposing these cells to miRNA-induced MET. Collectively our results indicate that miRNA-mediated regulation of MET is a highly integrated process that is significantly modulated by the molecular background of individual cells.

Database of microRNA target predictions and expression profiles. Target predictions are based on a development of the miRanda algorithm which incorporates current biological knowledge on target rules and on the use of an up-to-date compendium of mammalian microRNAs. MicroRNA expression profiles are derived from a comprehensive sequencing project of a large set of mammalian tissues and cell lines of normal and disease origin. This website enables users to explore: * The set of genes that are potentially regulated by a particular microRNA. * The implied cooperativity of multiple microRNAs on a particular mRNA. * MicroRNA expression profiles in various mammalian tissues. The web resource provides users with functional information about the growing number of microRNAs and their interaction with target genes in many species and facilitates novel discoveries in microRNA gene regulation. The microRNA Target Detection Software, miRanda, is an algorithm for finding genomic targets for microRNAs. This algorithm has been written in C and is available as an open-source method under the GPL.
