miRNA-7 Attenuation in Schwannoma Tumors Stimulates Growth by Upregulating Three Oncogenic Signaling Pathways
13 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
Micro RNAs (miRNA) negatively regulate protein-coding genes at the posttranscriptional level and are critical in tumorigenesis. Schwannomas develop from proliferation of dedifferentiated Schwann cells, which normally wrap nerve fibers to help support and insulate nerves. In this study, we carried out high-throughput miRNA expression profiling of human vestibular schwannomas by using an array representing 407...
