mir-34a targets cell cycle genes CCND1 (cyclin D1) and MYCN, while mir-21 does not target PTEN and PDCD4 in neuroblastoma
Utnes, Peter Andree (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2013-06-03)Neuroblastoma is an embryonal cancer of the post-sympathetic nervous system and is the most frequent extra-cranial solid tumor in childhood. Two important microRNAs, the tumor suppressor mir-34a and the oncogenic mir-21, have been found to increase during MYCN-knockdown induced differentiation. However their distinct roles are not clear. This thesis employs a method to identify the mRNA targets of ...
