Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Previous studies have shown that miRNA plays a key role in cervical carcinogenesis. Interleukin (IL)-1α can promote tumor growth, invasion, migration, and angiogenesis. An insertion/deletion polymorphism (rs3783553) in the IL1A 3' untranslated region may disrupt a binding site for miR-122 and miR-378 and thus change the transcription of IL-1α. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association...
