Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small single-stranded non-coding RNA molecules that play a role in regulating gene expression in a tissue-specific manner. Placental miRNAs expression pattern dynamically changes during pregnancy influencing cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Changes of specific miRNA levels have been described in pregnancies complicated by hypertensive disorders or gestational diabetes and a growing interest in understanding miRNA role on placental development and placental disorders is currently going on. The present review evaluates the possible roles of miRNAs in trophoblastic invasion and placental development as well as their potential role as biomarkers for the prediction of placental disorders focusing the attention on intrauterine growth restriction.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
