MicroRNA 34c Gene Down-regulation via DNA Methylation Promotes Self-renewal and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Breast Tumor-initiating Cells
11 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
Tumor-initiating cells (T-ICs), a subpopulation of cancer cells with stem cell-like properties, are related to tumor relapse and metastasis. Our previous studies identified a distinct profile of microRNA (miRNA) expression in breast T-ICs (BT-ICs), and the dysregulated miRNAs contribute to the self-renewal and tumorigenesis of these cells. However, the underlying mechanisms for miRNA dysregulation in BT-ICs...
