Induction of cell proliferation and survival genes by estradiol-repressed microRNAs in breast cancer cells
20 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In estrogen responsive MCF-7 cells, estradiol (E₂) binding to ERα leads to transcriptional regulation of genes involved in the control of cell proliferation and survival. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as key post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. The aim of this study was to explore whether miRNAs were involved in hormonally regulated expression of estrogen responsive genes. METHODS:...
