Abstract

Given the fundamental roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) in physiological, developmental, and pathologic processes, we hypothesized that genes involved in miRNA biogenesis contribute to human complex traits. For 13 such genes, we evaluated the relationship between transcription and 2 classes of complex traits, namely cellular growth and sensitivity to various chemotherapeutic agents in a set of lymphoblastoid cell lines. We found a highly significant correlation between argonaute RNA-induced silencing complex catalytic component 2 (AGO2) expression and cellular growth rate (Bonferroni-adjusted P < 0.05), and report additional miRNA biogenesis genes with suggestive associations with either cellular growth rate or chemotherapeutic sensitivity. AGO2 expression was found to be correlated with multiple drug sensitivity phenotypes. Furthermore, small interfering RNA knockdown of AGO2 resulted in cellular growth inhibition in an ovarian cancer cell line (OVCAR-3), supporting the role of this miRNA biogenesis gene in cell proliferation in cancer cells. Expression quantitative trait loci mapping indicated that genetic variation (in the form of both single-nucleotide polymorphisms and copy number variations) that may regulate the expression of ...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
