MicroRNAs

MicroRNA (miRNA) are short, regulatory RNA transcribed from introns—non-coding regions of a gene—or intergenic regions—stretches of DNA present between genes. Several processing steps are required to form biologically active, mature miRNA. The initial transcript, called primary miRNA (pri-mRNA), base-pairs with itself forming a stem-loop structure. Within the nucleus, an endonuclease enzyme, called Drosha, shortens the stem-loop structure into hairpin-shaped pre-miRNA. After the pre-miRNA ends...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Biology
  • Genomics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are crucial noncoding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally.
  • A significant role of miRNAs is observed in controlling gene expression during developmental processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the microRNA (miRNA) expression profile in 11-day-old chick embryos.
  • To identify known, homologous, and novel miRNAs in embryonic chicken development.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of a small RNA library from 11-day-old chick embryos.
  • Sequencing of the small RNA library using 454 Life Sciences pyrosequencing technology.
  • Annotation of obtained sequences to classify miRNAs.

Main Results:

  • A total of 10,466 sequences were obtained and analyzed.
  • Identified 110 known chicken miRNAs, 36 homologous miRNAs (conserved across species), and 14 novel chicken-specific miRNAs.
  • Demonstrated differential expression of certain embryonic miRNAs in spleen, liver, and bursa tissues.

Conclusions:

  • The embryonic chick at 11 days of incubation expresses a diverse and dynamic set of miRNAs.
  • The identification of embryonic chicken miRNAs contributes to understanding gene regulation complexity in vertebrate development.
