Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can direct post-transcriptional or transcriptional gene silencing. Here, we report that miR-552 is in the nucleus and cytosol and inhibits human cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2E1 expression at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. MiR-552 via its non-seed sequence forms hybrids with a loop hairpin of the cruciform structure in CYP2E1 promoter region to inhibit SMARCE1 and RNA polymerase...
