Cross-talk between coding RNAs and regulatory non-coding microRNAs, within human genome, has provided compelling evidence for the existence of flexible checkpoint control of T-Cell activation. The present study attempts to demonstrate that the interplay between miR-2909 and its effector KLF4 gene has the inherent capacity to regulate genes coding for CTLA4, CD28, CD40, CD134, PDL1, CD80, CD86, IL-6 and IL-10 within normal human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Based upon these findings, we propose a pathway that links miR-2909 RNomics with the genes coding for immune checkpoint regulators required for the maintenance of immune homeostasis.

Background: Chemicals like Monobenzyl Ether of Hydroquinone (MBEH) and 4-Tertiary Butyl Phenol (4-TBP) have been widely recognized to induce clinical lesions that resemble vitiligo, but exact molecular pathway through which these chemicals initiate vitiligo is still far from clear.
Objectives: Since vitiligo is widely considered as an autoimmune disease, this study was an attempt to understand miR-2909 RNomics in vitiligo pathogenesis using MBEH treated primary melanocytes as an archetype cellular model because MBEH causes pathological features indistinguishable from clinical vitiligo.
Methods: Primary melanocytes were treated with MBEH and 4-TBP and the role of miR-2909 RNomics at transcriptional and translational level was explored through qRT-PCR, western blot analysis, flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry and in silico binding affinities.

Genomic regulation and functional significance of PVT-1 gene locus, in the MYC-driven cancers, has remained enigmatic ever since its discovery. With the present study, an attempt is made to establish that cellular AATF genome encoded miR-2909 RNomics pathway involving crucial genes coding for KLF4, Deptor, mTORC1, STAT3, and p53 has the inherent capacity to ensure sustained co-amplification of PVT-1 gene locus together with c-Myc gene. Based upon these results, we propose that miR-2909 RNomics pathway may play a crucial role in the regulation of tumorigenic PVT-1 gene locus.

Chronic exposure of humans to inorganic arsenic as a potential risk for the incidence of diabetes has received wide attention. However, the biological mechanism through which arsenic plays a role in the development of diabetes is still being evaluated. One of the hallmark of diabetes is the β-cell dysfunction followed by the changes in the insulin secretion.

Background: There exists a general recognition of the fact that mitochondrial remodelling as a result of aerobic glycolysis ensures human somatic cells to revert to a more primitive-form exhibiting stem-like phenotype. The present study is an attempt to demonstrate that miR-2909 RNomics within human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) has the inherent capacity to re-program these cells to exhibit mitochondrial remodelling paralleled by aerobic glycolysis together with intracellular lipid inclusions. Such re-programmed PBMCs also expressed genes having ability to sustain their de-differentiation state and survival.
