Selected miRCURY LNA™microRNA Array papers The Expression of MicroRNA miR-107 Decreases Early in Alzheimer's Disease and May Accelerate Disease Progression through Regulation of β-Site Amyloid Precursor Protein-Cleaving Enzyme 1. Wang et al. The Journal of Neuroscience, January 30, 2008, 28(5):1213-1223 Wang et al., used the miRCURY LNA™ Array to demonstrate that miRs contribute to the development of the neurodegenerative disease, Alzheimer’s Disease. The data was confirmed by in situ hybridization and northern blot analysis using LNA™ Detection probes. ________________________________ MicroRNAs: Novel Regulators Involved in the Pathogenesis of Psoriasis? Sonkoly E. et al., PLoS ONE. 2007, v.2:e610 Sonkoly et al. used the miRCURY LNA™ Arrays to demonstrate that psoriasis is characterized by a specific miRNA expression profile that differs from that of healthy skin or another chronic inflammatory disease, atopic eczema. These data were confirmed by real-time PCR. ________________________________ Exosome-mediated transfer of mRNAs and microRNAs is a novel mechanism of genetic exchange between cells. Valadi H. et al., Nat. Cell Biol. 2007 v.9 (6):654-659 Valadi et al. used the miRCURY LNA™ Array to identify the miRNA in exosomes. The results showed that exosomes carry approximately 121 miRNAs and some miRNA were found to be expressed to a greater extent in the exosomes compared to their donor cells. ________________________________ MicroRNA expression dynamics during murine and human erythroid differentiation. Zhan M. et al., Exp. Hematol. 2007, v.35 (7):1015-25. Zhan et al., used the miRCURY LNA™ Arrays to showe that miR-451 is most significantly upregulated during erythroid maturation. The paper also shows excellent correlation between miRCURY LNA™ Array results and qPCR results. Furthermore, functional studies using miR-451 LNA Knockdown oligonucleotides, confirmed that this miR is associated with erythroid maturation.
