摘要
MicroRNAs(miRNAs)是一类长约22个左右的核苷酸组成的非编码小分子RNA,主要通过抑制靶蛋白翻译,或者降解靶基因mRNA,来负性调控基因的表达。如今miRNAs的种类发现越来越多,在很多方面发挥了作用,例如细胞的增殖、分化、凋亡、早期胚胎的发育。文中仅就miRNAs的合成机制和功能,主要检测方法及在早期胚胎发育中的研究现状作一综述。
MicroRNAs(miRNAs) is a class of small endogenous noncoding RNAs with 22 nucleotides.They can negatively regulate gene expression by inhibiting target mRNAs′translation or degrading mRNAs .Up to now, it has been proved that miRNAs play an important role in cellular proliferation , apoptosis , cell differentiation , and embryonic development .In this article , mechanism and function of miRNAs , principal methodologies in the research of miRNAs and the latest development of miRNAs in early embryonic de -velopment are discussed .
