Abstract excerpt
Sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC) is a typical multifactorial disease. Isothiocyanates (ITC) have been recently shown to inhibit development of CRC in many experimental models. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short noncoding RNAs that posttranscriptionally regulate gene expression through binding to 3' untranslated regions (3'UTR) of target mRNAs. MiRNAs are regulated by natural agents, ITCs included. In our study, using...
