Epigenetic Silencing of MicroRNA-34b/c Plays an Important Role in the Pathogenesis of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
14 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive tumor with a dismal prognosis. Unlike other malignancies, TP53 mutations are rare in MPM. Recent studies have showed that altered expression of microRNA (miRNA) is observed in human malignant tumors. In this study, we investigated the alterations of miR-34s, a direct transcriptional target of TP53, and the role of miR-34s on the pathogenesis of MPM....
