Down-Regulation of miR-218-2 and Its Host Gene SLIT3 Cooperate to Promote Invasion and Progression of Thyroid Cancer
29 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: The functional relationships between intronic microRNAs (miRNAs) and their host genes in thyroid cancer remain unclear. miR-218, a miRNA down-regulated in several kinds of cancers and associated with multiple cancer phenotypes, is transcribed from 2 loci located on chromosomes 4p15.31 (miR-218-1) and 5q35.1 (miR-218-2) within the introns of SLIT2 and SLIT3, respectively. OBJECTIVE: The aim of our work...
