9、in-of-function of specific miRNAs appears to be a key event in the genesis of many diverse diseasesFour recent papers showed that miRNAs (miR-1, miR-133, miR-208) are essential for heart development and regulating the expression of genes which take part in cardiac function (Yang et al. 2007; Zhao et

13、lar activities Basic network concepts and their biological meaningsv The structures of cellular networks are scale-free One common structural property of cellular networks and other real-world networks is their scale-free topology In a scale-free network, a small number of nodes act as hubs, whereas
14、 most nodes have only a few links. They are robust (random removal) but also very vulnerable (targeted removal) to failure and attack (Barabasi and Albert, 1999; Barabasi and Oltvai, 2004) Principles of miRNA regulation of cellular networksv miRNA regulation of cellular signaling networksSignaling n

21、plexity of GR by miRNAs at the post-transcriptional level is positively related to the complexity of GR by TFs at the transcriptional level in human genome Reasons: turn on more frequently, turn off more frequently vmiRNA regulation of metabolic networksThe information for metabolic pathways is more
22、 enriched than before. it possible to build comprehensive metabolic maps at this time (Feist et al. 2007)For a long time, we have reasons to believe that the enzymes of metabolic networks are tightly controlled by transcription factorsmiRNAs selectively regulate certain metabolic processes such as a

24、f the networkThese results imply that miRNA is strongly involved in coordinated regulation of metabolic processes in metabolic networks vmiRNA regulation of protein interaction networksmiRNAs preferentially regulate the proteins which have more interacting partners in the network (Liang and Li, 2007
25、)Therefore, it makes sense that when a protein has more interacting protein partners, it will be regulated by more transcription factors and more miRNAs vmiRNA regulation of protein interaction networksBroadly expressed mRNAs in different tissues tend to be regulated by more miRNAs (Yu et al. 2007a)
