MiR-145, a new regulator of the DNA Fragmentation Factor-45 (DFF45)-mediated apoptotic network
6 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MicroRNA-145 (miR-145) is considered to play key roles in many cellular processes, such as proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis, by inhibiting target gene expression. DNA Fragmentation Factor-45 (DFF45) has been found to be the substrate of Caspase-3, and the cleavage of DFF45 by caspase-3 during apoptosis releases DFF40 that degrades chromosomal DNA into nucleosomal fragments. There are...
