Impaired miRNA processing by DICER1 downregulation endows thyroid cancer with increased aggressiveness
2018-07-21
Abstract excerpt
The global downregulation of miRNAs (miRs) is emerging as a common hallmark of cancer. However, the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are not well known. We identified that the oncogenic miR-146b-5p attenuates miRNA biosynthesis by targeting DICER1 and reducing its expression. DICER1 overexpression inhibited all the miR-146b-induced aggressive phenotypes in thyroid cells. Systemic injection of an antimiR-146b...
