Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) bind to the 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of messenger RNAs, where they interfere with the translation of genes that regulate cell differentiation, apoptosis, and tumorigenesis. SET8 reportedly methylates TP53 and regulates genomic stability. We analyzed a single nucleotide polymorphism (rs16917496) within the miR-502 mRNA seed region of the 3' UTR of SET8 in Chinese epithelial ovarian cancer...
