摘要

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), are u000222 nucleotides long, non-coding RNAs that control gene expressionnpost-transcriptionally by binding to their target mRNA’s 30UTRs (untranslated regions). Due to theirnroles in various important regulatory processes and pathways, miRNAs have been implicated in diseasenmechanisms such as tumorigenesis when their expression is deregulated. To date, a significant numbernof miRNAs and their target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) have been identified and verified. It is generallynaccepted that miRNAs can potentially bind to many mRNAs, which brings the requirement ofnvalidation of these interactions. While understanding that such individual interactions is crucial tondelineate the role of a specific miRNA, we took a holistic approach and analyzed global changes in thencell due to expression of a miRNA in a model cell line system. Our model consisted of MCF7 cellsnstably transfected with miR-125b (MCF7-125b) and empty vector (MCF7-EV). MiR-125b is one of thenknown down-regulated miRNAs in breast cancers. In this study we examined the global structuralnchanges in MCF7 cells lacking and expressing miR-125b by Attenuated Total Reflectance FouriernTransform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) Spectroscopy and investigated the dynamic changes by morensensitive spin-labelling Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. Our results revealed less RNA,nprotein, lipid, and glycogen content in MCF7-125b compared to MCF7-EV cells. Membrane fluiditynand proliferation rate were shown to be lower in MCF7-125b cells. Based on these changes, MCF7-n125b and MCF7-EV cells were discriminated successfully by cluster analysis. Here, we provide a novelnmeans to understand the global effects of miRNAs in cells. Potential applications of this approach arennot only limited to research purposes. Such a strategy is also promising to pioneer the development ofnfuture diagnostic tools for deregulated miRNA expression in patient samples.
