Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to explore the roles of microRNA-491-5p (miR-491) and its target MMP9 in the control of metastasis of osteosarcoma (OS) as well as how the rs1056629 polymorphism in the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of MMP9 compromises the interaction between miR-491 and MMP9. METHODS: We used bioinformatics tools to identify possible binding sites of miR-491 in the 3'UTR of MMP9 and 30 OS tissue...
