ABSTRACT

 

Pal-Bhadra M, Arora N, Santosh S, Ray P, Banerjee AK, Sripathi VR, Murty USN, Bhadra Uci O.,Target sites for microRNA expressed in pancreatic islets in Type 2 diabetes mellitus associated genes, Onl J Bioinform, 11 (2): 245-263, 2010. In Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) associated genes, regulation of insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis is mediated by regulatory microRNAs. Thirty genes are known to be involved in metabolic pathways, operating in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MiRanda (1.0) was employed to predict target sites for microRNA expressed in pancreatic islets in T2DM associated genes. Target sites predicted by miRanda in 3’ UTR were compared with predictions of TargetScan and PicTar.  Ten miRNAs targeting the genes were identified.

 

Keywords: Type 2 Diabetes mellitus, miRNA, miRANDA, target site prediction
