The neuronal microRNA system

KS Kosik - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2006 - nature.com
A class of small, non-coding transcripts called microRNAs (miRNAs) that provide a crucial and
pervasive layer of post-transcriptional gene regulation has recently emerged and become …

Alzheimer's Prevention Initiative: a plan to accelerate the evaluation of presymptomatic treatments

…, N Ayutyanont, YT Quiroz, KS Kosik… - Journal of …, 2011 - content.iospress.com
There is an urgent need to find effective presymptomatic Alzheimer’s disease (AD) treatments

[PDF][PDF] MicroRNAs potentiate neural development

SK Fineberg, KS Kosik, BL Davidson - Neuron, 2009 - cell.com
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenously expressed noncoding RNAs that regulate mRNA
expression. In vertebrates, more distinct miRNAs are expressed in the brain than in any other …

MicroRNA-21 is an antiapoptotic factor in human glioblastoma cells

JA Chan, AM Krichevsky, KS Kosik - Cancer research, 2005 - AACR
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNA molecules that regulate protein expression
by targeting the mRNA of protein-coding genes for either cleavage or repression of …

A microRNA array reveals extensive regulation of microRNAs during brain development

…, KS King, CP Donahue, K Khrapko, KS Kosik - Rna, 2003 - rnajournal.cshlp.org
… We thank members of Kenneth Kosik laboratory for helpful discussions and comments on
the manuscript, and members of Jie Shen laboratory for help with PS1 KO mice. We are …

Microtubule-associated protein tau (tau) is a major antigenic component of paired helical filaments in Alzheimer disease.

KS KoSIK, CL Joachim… - Proceedings of the …, 1986 - National Acad Sciences
The detailed protein composition of the paired helical filaments (PHF) that accumulate in
human neurons in aging and Alzheimer disease is unknown. However, the identity of certain …

Ubiquitination of a new form of α-synuclein by parkin from human brain: implications for Parkinson's disease

…, A Trockenbacher, R Schneider, Y Mizuno, KS Kosik… - Science, 2001 - science.org
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the
progressive accumulation in selected neurons of protein inclusions containing α-synuclein and …

[HTML][HTML] MicroRNA-145 regulates OCT4, SOX2, and KLF4 and represses pluripotency in human embryonic stem cells

…, G Pan, JA Thomson, KS Kosik - Cell, 2009 - cell.com
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are posttranscriptional modulators of gene expression and play an
important role in many developmental processes. We report here that expression of microRNA-…

[HTML][HTML] The Amphimedon queenslandica genome and the evolution of animal complexity

…, SP Leys, S Shu, BJ Woodcroft, M Vervoort, KS Kosik… - Nature, 2010 - nature.com
Sponges are an ancient group of animals that diverged from other metazoans over 600 million
years ago. Here we present the draft genome sequence of Amphimedon queenslandica, …

MicroRNA-21 targets a network of key tumor-suppressive pathways in glioblastoma cells

T Papagiannakopoulos, A Shapiro, KS Kosik - Cancer research, 2008 - AACR
MicroRNA dysregulation is observed in different types of cancer. MiR-21 up-regulation has
been reported for the majority of cancers profiled to date; however, knowledge is limited on …
