Post-transcriptional control during chronic inflammation and cancer: a focus on AU-rich elements

Abstract excerpt

A considerable number of genes that code for AU-rich mRNAs including cytokines, growth factors, transcriptional factors, and certain receptors are involved in both chronic inflammation and cancer. Overexpression of these genes is affected by aberrations or by prolonged activation of several signaling pathways. AU-rich elements (ARE) are important cis-acting short sequences in the 3'UTR that mediate recognition of...
