Clock-controlled mir-142-3p can target its activator, Bmal1

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: microRNAs (miRNAs) are shown to be involved in the regulation of circadian clock. However, it remains largely unknown whether miRNAs can regulate the core clock genes (Clock and Bmal1). RESULTS: In this study, we found that mir-142-3p directly targeted the 3'UTR of human BMAL1 and mouse Bmal1. The over-expression (in 293ET and NIH3T3 cells) and knockdown (in U87MG cells) of mir-142-3p reduced and...
