[Method] The cp-miR- 2980 precursor was amplified from C. parvum genomic DNA and cloned into pMD18- T vector. The amplified precursor was then subcloned into pVAX I vector and identi- fied with restriction endonuclease digestion and sequencing. The recombinant plasmid pVAX-miR2980 was transfected into HCT-8 cells. Total RNA was extracted and the expression of cp-miR-2980 was evaluated by RT-PCR detection. [Result] The results showed that the recombinant eukaryotic expression vector pVAX-miR2980 was suc- cessfully constructed, which can express cp-miR-2980 in HCT-8 cell. [Conclusion] This study laid the foundation for further exploring the biological function of cp-miR-2980.展开更多

Although dysregulation of specific miRNAs has been associated with certain types of cancer, to date no evidence has linked miRNA expression in embryonic and tumor tissues. We assessed the expression of mature miRNAs in human embryonic colon tissue, and in colorectal cancer and paired normal colon tissue. Overlapping miRNA expression was detected between embryonic colonic mucosa and colorectal cancer. We have found that the miR-17-92 cluster and its target, E2F1, exhibit a similar pattern of expression in human colon development and colonic carcinogenesis, regulating cell proliferation in both cases. In situ hybridization confirmed the high level of expression of miR-17-5p in the crypt progenitor compartment. We conclude that miRNA pathways play a major role in both embryonic development and neoplastic transformation of the colonic epithelium.展开更多
