c‐Myc‐mediated overexpression of miR‐17‐92 suppresses replication of hepatitis B virus in human hepatoma cells
26 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate post-transcriptional gene expression in various physiological and pathological processes, including viral infections. The miR-17-92 cluster encodes six miRNAs (miR-17-5p, miR-18a, miR-19a, miR-19b, miR-20a, and miR-92a-1) which are transactivated by c-Myc. Because hepatitis B virus transactivates c-Myc, the interaction between the miR-17-92 cluster and HBV replication was examined in...
