Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs are important regulators in numerous cellular processes, including cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. Recently, miR-143 was identified as a tumor suppressor in prostate cancer (PCa). To explore the mechanism of dysregulation and anti-tumor function of miR-143 in PCa, we first found a single-nucleotide polymorphism rs4705342T>C in the promoter region of miR-143 through bioinformatics...
