Correlation between Slug transcription factor and miR-221 in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells
2 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer and its metastatic progression is mainly directed by epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), a phenomenon supported by specific transcription factors and miRNAs. METHODS: In order to investigate a possible correlation between Slug transcription factor and miR-221, we performed Slug gene silencing in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and evaluated the expression of genes involved in...
