Silencing of hsa-miR-124 by EVI1 in cell lines and patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
We read with great interest the work published by Dickstein et al. (1) showing that induced EVI1 expression in a murine model silences miR-124 expression by DNA methylation. The EVI1 gene codes for a transcription factor implicated in the development and progression of high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (2, 3). We quantify the expression of 250 microRNAs (miRNAs; TaqManHuman miRNA assay set...
متن کاملSuppression of iASPP-dependent aggressiveness in cervical cancer through reversal of methylation silencing of microRNA-124
Derepression of wild-type p53 by suppressing its negative inhibitor iASPP (Inhibitor of apoptosis-stimulating protein of p53) represents a potential therapeutic option for cervical cancer (CC). Here, we reported a novel functional significance of iASPP upregulation in cervical tumorigenesis: iASPP acts as a key promoter of CC cell proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, invasion and c...
متن کاملmiR-124 rs531564 polymorphism influences genetic susceptibility to cervical cancer.
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide. It most frequently results from human papillomavirus (HPV) infection; however, recent evidence suggests that there may be underlying genetic factors, specifically in regions encoding microRNAs, dictating susceptibility to cervical cancer. This study investigated the relationship between the miR-124 rs531564 gene polymorphis...
متن کاملAberrant methylation-mediated silencing of microRNAs contributes to HPV-induced anchorage independence
Cervical cancer and a subset of anogenital and head-and-neck carcinomas are caused by high-risk types of the human papillomavirus (hrHPV). During hrHPV-induced malignant transformation keratinocytes become able to grow anchorage independently, a tumorigenic trait at least partly associated with inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. We used hrHPV-containing keratinocytes to investigate the rol...
متن کاملHistone methylation-mediated silencing of miR-139 enhances invasion of non-small-cell lung cancer
MicroRNA expression is frequently altered in human cancers, and some microRNAs act as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. MiR-139-5p (denoted thereafter as miR-139) has recently been reported to function as a tumor suppressor in several types of human cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and gastric cancer), but its function in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and t...
