Aging Overview

Aging gene

Gene name: MIR21
Aging type: Prevent
Aging characteristic:
Tissue type: --
Cell name: U87
Gene ID: 406991
Category: ncRNA
Phenotype: Glioma
Experimental category: L
PMID: 29316313
Experiment: SA-β-gal activity assay//Knockdown//MTT assay
Description: Compared with the blank and NC groups, the miR-21 mimics and siRNA-SPRY1 groups revealed a decreased density of U87 cells and enlarged cell size, in addition to reduced senescence indexes. In the miR-21 inhibitors group, the senescence index of U87 cells was increased; and no significant difference in senescence index was identified in the miR-21 inhibitors + siRNA-SPRY1 group.MTT results indicated that, compared with the blank and NC groups, cell proliferation reduced in the miR-21 inhibitors group and increased in the miR-21 mimics and siRNA-SPRY1 group; there were no significant differences in cell proliferation in the miR-21 inhibitors + siRNA-SPRY1 group.


Regulatory relationship

Target gene: SPRY1
Official symbol(s): SPRY1
R-AG-Target gene: Downregulation
Subcategory: Unclear
Target gene experiment: Dual-Luciferase reporter assay//qRT-PCR
Target gene description: The results of the dual-luciferase reporter assay system indicated that there was a significant reduction in the luciferase signal in SPRY1-wt cotransfection group, compared with other miR-21 transfection groups. And, there was no difference in the luciferase signal of SPRY1-mut among miR-21 transfection groups.The results of RT-qPCR showed that, compared with the control group, mRNA levels of miR-21, PI3K, and AKT increased in the glioma group, but mRNA levels of SPRY1 and PTEN decreased.

Regulatory pathway: PTEN-PI3K-AKT
R-AG-Pathway: --
Official symbol(s): PTEN-PIK3CA-AKT1
Pathway experiment: Western blot//RT-PCR
Pathway description: In the miR-21 mimics and siRNA-SPRY1 groups, protein levels of PI3K, AKT, p-AKT, P53, and p-GSK3 increased, and those of SPRYI1, PTEN, Caspase-3, and Caspase-9 decreased;and the miR-21 inhibitors group exhibited opposite trends; in the miR-21 mimics group, miR-21 expression and mRNA expressions of PI3K and AKT increased while mRNA levels of SPRY1 and PTEN decreased .
