14 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Cancer stem cells are cell populations with stem cell nature presenting in tumor tissues and are the root of tumor formation and metastasis. CCND1 and E2F3 play important roles in cell cycle regulation. The 3'UTRs of CCND1 and E2F3 contain miR-449 binding sites. By transfecting pre-miR-449b and inhibiting miR-449b, we found that...
