Loss of DNA methylation is related to increased expression of miR-21 and miR-146b in papillary thyroid carcinoma
20 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: DNA methylation in miRNA genes has been reported as a mechanism that may cause dysregulation of mature miRNAs and consequently impact the gene expression. This mechanism is largely unstudied in papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC). METHODS: To identify differentially methylated miRNA-encoding genes, we performed global methylation analysis (Illumina 450 K), integrative analysis (TCGA database), data...
