Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs, and the deregulated expression of miRNAs is associated with tumor development. Among these, the miR-17-92 cluster, including six mature miRNAs, is known as an oncogenic miRNA cluster because expression of the miR-17-92 cluster is frequently elevated in a variety of malignant tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We investigated whether a mitogen-activated protein...
