Abstract excerpt
MiR-34a is a direct transcriptional target of p53, which induces cell cycle arrest, senescence, and apoptosis. Recently, we and others identified abnormal expression of miR-34a in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). The aim of our present study was to investigate the contribution of miR-34a promoter methylation to LSCC. Bisulfite pyrosequencing technology was applied to measure DNA methylation levels of six...
