General description

Ago2 (argonaute-2), also known as eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C (EIF2C2), is an essential component for siRNA-directed RNA interference (RNAi) response. Ago2 is an endonuclease required for the unwinding of siRNA duplex and assembly of siRNA into RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISC). Ago2 interacts with DICER1 through its Piwi domain. This Piwi domain is thought to provide RNA cleavage activity via a mechanism similar to RNase H. Ago2 activity is necessary for embryonic development as well as RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi).

Of the thousands of long noncoding RNAs expressed in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), few have known roles and fewer have been functionally implicated in the regulation of self-renewal and pluripotency, or the reprogramming of somatic cells to the pluripotent state.

Cholestasis induces the hepatic long non-coding RNA H19, which promotes the progression of cholestatic liver fibrosis. However, microRNAs that are dysregulated by H19 during cholestasis remain elusive. Using miRNA-sequencing analysis followed by qPCR validation, we identified marked upregulation of eight
