Epigenetic silencing of miR-340-5p in multiple myeloma: mechanisms and prognostic impact
7 May 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: miR-340-5p, localized to 5q35, is a tumor suppressor miRNA implicated in multiple cancers. As a CpG island is present at the putative promoter region of its host gene, RNF130, we hypothesized that the intronic miR-340-5p is a tumor suppressor miRNA epigenetically silenced by promoter DNA methylation of its host gene in multiple myeloma. RESULTS: By pyrosequencing-confirmed methylation-specific PCR,...
