miR-34a-5p and miR-34a-3p contribute to the signaling pathway of p53 by targeting overlapping sets of genes
In contrary to the common belief that only one strand of the pre-miRNA is active (usually the 5p one that is the more abundant) while the second one (miRNA*) is discarded, functional 5p and 3p have been observed for many miRNAs. Among those miRNAs is miR-34a which is a target gene of the tumor suppressor p53. In this paper we have re-examined the role of miR-34a-5p and miR-34a-3p in the signaling pathway of p53. We found that they target overlapping sets of genes (MDM2 and THBS1). By a GO enrichment analysis we found that THBS1 is involved in cancer and metastasis relevant processes. We have also deduce that p53, MDM2 and miR-34a are linked by a type 1 incoherent FFL that represent a novel mechanism for accelerating the response of p53 to external stress signals.

Mathematical models for the EP2 and EP4 signaling pathways and their crosstalk
The G-protein coupled receptors EP2 and EP4 both transduce the signal of the lipid messenger Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Changes in the cell response to PGE2 can have important effects on immunity and development of disease…
Strategies for targeting chondrosarcomas in vivo and molecular dissection of oncogenic events in chondrosarcomas: is epigenetics the culprit?
It is obvious that both epigenetic and non-epigenetic actors contribute to tumorigenesis in chondrosarcomas and more generally in other cancers. Thus, the main altered pathways in chondrosarcomas are now well established…
