miR-21 Expression in Pregnancy-Associated Breast Cancer: A Possible Marker of Poor Prognosis
1 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small noncoding RNAs that can act as key modulators in tumorigenesis-related genes. Specifically, it has been suggested that miR-21 overexpression plays a role in the development and progression of breast cancer. So far, the role of miRNAs in pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC) has not been investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS: We evaluated miR-21 expression by...
