Tumour-suppressor microRNAs let-7 and mir-101 target the proto-oncogene MYCN and inhibit cell proliferation in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma
7 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate expression of many cancer-related genes through posttranscriptional repression of their mRNAs. In this study we investigate the proto-oncogene MYCN as a target for miRNA regulation. METHODS: A luciferase reporter assay was used to investigate software-predicted miRNA target sites in the 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) of MYCN. The miRNAs were overexpressed in cell lines by...
