| Community annotation |
This text is a summary paragraph taken from the Wikipedia entry entitled Mir-143. miRBase and Rfam are facilitating community annotation of microRNA families and entries in Wikipedia. Read more ... The text in this section is taken from the free, online encyclopedia, Wikipedia. Anyone can edit a Wikipedia page. We hope that experts on particular microRNA sequences will use the links to Wikipedia below to edit the annotation of individual microRNAs, to add information about function, evolution, discovery, and literature references, for example. Any changes that you make will be visible in Wikipedia immediately, and in miRBase within 24 hours. Editing Wikipedia entries is straightforward. If you haven't edited a page before, you might like to take a look at the following Wikipedia help pages: You can also create new pages at Wikipedia about microRNA families that do not currently have specific entries there. Please let us know if you do, so we can incorporate your annotation into miRBase, and create the appropriate links from miRBase entries to the relevant Wikipedia pages. Please note, we're not responsible for the content of Wikipedia pages. You can read more about miRBase, Wikipedia and community annotation on this blog post.

MicroRNAs function to regulate the expression levels of other genes by a several mechanisms. mir–143 is highly conserved in vertebrates. mir-143 is thought be involved in cardiac morphogenesis but has also been implicated in cancer.
In molecular biology mir-143 microRNA is a short RNA molecule. MicroRNAs function to regulate the expression levels of other genes by a several mechanisms. mir–143 is highly conserved in vertebrates.[1] mir-143 is thought be involved in cardiac morphogenesis but has also been implicated in cancer.
[edit] Genomic locationmir– 143 is located on chromosome 5 position 33 in the human genome.[1] mir-143 is located very close to mir-145 in the genome and it is speculated that they are transcribed as a bicistronic unit.[2] Their co-transcription means they are frequently studied together in the same cellular pathways and diseases. [edit] Expressionmir–143 is a direct transcriptional target of the serum response factor, myocardin and nkx2-5.[2] mir-143 expression is also thought to be controlled epigenetically through heart beat.[3] [edit] TargetsThese are known genetic targets for mir–143 and its effect on them:
[edit] Cardiogenesismir-143 is thought to play an important role in cardiac morphogenesis. mir–143 was found to be the most enriched miRNA in mouse embryonic stem cells that were differentiating into cardiac progenitor cells.[2] It is a direct transcriptional target of serum response factor, myocardin and nkx2-5.[2] Research has shown that mir-143 plays an important role in smooth muscle cell fate. It is co-transcribed with miR-145 in cardiac progenitors before becoming vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). VSMCs are unusual in the fact that they can switch between a proliferative or a quiescent more differentiated state. Along with mir–145, mir- 143 has been shown to target a network of transcription factors (including klf4 and elk-1) that promote differentiation and repress the proliferation of VSMCs.[2] MiR-143 has also been implicated in the more general morphogenesis of the heart. In zebrafish it was shown that mir-143 is required for chamber morphogenesis through repression of add3. A knockout resulted in ventricular collapse.[4] It has also been suggested that mir-143 expression may be controlled by heart beat. In zebrafish mir-143 expression was absent when heartbeat was arrested and restored when heartbeat was reinitiated.[3] Understanding mir– 143 may be important for understanding vascular disease. The plasticity of VSMCs is thought to be the basis of many human vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis.[2]It has also been shown that in human aortic aneurysms the expression of mir-143 and mir-145 were found to be significantly decreased when compared to controls.[6] [edit] CancerChanges in mir-145 expression have frequently been implicated in cancer. However the exact nature of this relationship is not fully understood. The up-regulation of mir-143 was observed in a hepatocellular carcinoma model during tumor metastasis through repression of FNDC38.[5] However decreased expression of mir-143 and 145 have been observed in cancer samples. Expression was shown to be decreased in a range of cancer stages, including in very early samples. This suggests that they are involved in tumorgenesis.[7] A modified version of mir-143 (mir-143BP) with greater activity and resistance to nuclease was shown to have a tumor-suppressive effect on colorectal cancer cells. This makes miR-143 a candidate for RNA medicine for treatment of tumors.[7] [edit] References
