Background: Polymorphisms and disruption of the expression profile of miRNA genes are associated with systemic diseases (autoimmune and cardiovascular diseases). The aim of the study: To study the localization of miRNA binding sites to mRNA in cis-regulatory regions of genes and in the coding sequences of DNA (CDS) associated in our studies with early and late atherosclerosis, and to search for possible localization of binding sites to microRNAs with gene sites (PPARGC1A; LIPC; PON1; APOE; LPL; APOC3; EDN; TNFα; SERPINE1). Materials and methods: The search for homologous micro RNA motifs was carried out in the cisregulatory regions of the studied genes with the help of the bio-information package MEME Suite. Known miRNAs were taken from the miRBase database (http://mirbase.org/). Nucleotide sequences of cis-regulatory regions and gene introns were obtained from the NCBI database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) using a set of scripts, IFITCH, designed to automatically retrieve data from NCBI sequences. The "miRBase" database was analyzed using automated search for binding sites in the original sequence using the MScanner classifier. 28645 microRNAs were registered (http://www.mirbase.org). Results: The results of the bioinformational search for the localization of motifs homologous to known microRNAs before and after the gene, as well as in the coding protein sequences and introns of the following genes: PON1, APOC3, LIPC, LPL, APOE, PPARGC1A, TNF, EDN, SERPIN showed that in genes and intergenic spaces there are a large number of motifs homologous to mature micro-RNA. The greatest absolute number of motifs is localized within the PPARGC1A gene-22 microRNAs. However, if we consider the relative frequency
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
