Analysis of somatic piRNAs in the malaria mosquito Anopheles coluzzii reveals atypical classes of genic small RNAs by Sergei Funikov, Alexander Rezvykh, Natalia Akulenko, Jiangtao Liang, Igor V. Sharakhov, Alla Kalmykova

“…Piwi-interacting small RNAs (piRNA) play a key role in controlling the activity of transposable elements (TEs) in the animal germline. In diverse arthropod species, including the pathogen vectors mosquitoes, the piRNA pathway is also active in nongonadal somatic tissues, where its targets and functions are less clear. …”

miR-224-5p Attenuates Allergic Responses in Mice with Allergic Rhinitis by Modulating the Th1/Th2 Response by Yuxiao Li, Ran An, Mingjin Wu, Jiayan He, Xiaoguang He

“…Human nasal epithelial cells (HNEpCs) were used to establish an AR cell model induced by Der P1, and C57BL/6 mice were used to establish an AR animal model induced by OVA (ovalbumin). RT-qPCR was used to determine the level of miR-224-5p; western blot analysis was used to determine GATA3; ELISA was used to determine the levels of OVA-specific IgE, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13; flow cytometry was used to determine the differentiation of Th1 and Th2 cells; and HE and PAS staining was used to observe the histopathological alterations in the mouse nasal mucosa and spleen. …”
