miR-203, a Tumor Suppressor Frequently Down-regulated by Promoter Hypermethylation in Rhabdomyosarcoma
19 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma found in children and young adults. It is characterized by the expression of a number of skeletal muscle-specific proteins, including MyoD and muscle α-actin. However, unlike normal myoblasts, RMS cells differentiate poorly both in vivo and in culture. As microRNAs are known to regulate tumorigenesis, intensive efforts have been made to identify...
