MicroRNA-26a-mediated regulation of interleukin-2 expression in transformed avian lymphocyte lines

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Micro(mi)RNAs are a class of small non-coding RNAs that play critical roles in the induction of various cancers, including lymphomas induced by oncogenic viruses. While some of the miRNAs are oncogenic, miRNAs such as miR-26a are consistently downregulated in a number of cancers, demonstrating their potential tumor suppressor functions. Global miRNA expression profiles of a number of virus-transformed...
