MiR-17-92 cluster and immunity

New Insights Into miR-17-92 Cluster Regulation and Angiogenesis.

miR-17-92 Cluster of MicroRNAs Confers Tumorigenicity

Downlo ammalian cells, activation of oncogenes usually triggers innate tumor-suppressing defense mechanisms, ing apoptosis and senescence, which are compromised by additional mutations before cancers are develThe miR-17-92 gene cluster, a polycistron encoding six microRNAs (miRNA), is frequently overexpressed an cancers and has been shown to promote several aspects of oncogenic transformation, ...

MicroRNA Expression Profile Reveals miR-17-92 and miR-143-145 Cluster in Synchronous Colorectal Cancer

The expression of abnormal microRNA (miRNA, miR) is a ubiquitous feature of colorectal cancer (CRC). The pathological features and clinical behaviors of synchronous CRC have been comprehensively described; however, the expression profile of miRNA and small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) in synchronous CRC has not been elucidated. In the present study, the expression profile of miRNA and snoRNA in 5 syn...

Upregulation of the miR-17-92 cluster and its two paraloga in osteosarcoma – reasons and consequences

Osteosarcomas (OS) are aggressive bone tumors characterized by complex karyotypes with highly variable structural and numerical chromosomal aberrations. Although several genes and pathways commonly altered in malignant tumors have also been identified in OS, the molecular pathogenesis and driving genetic events eventually leading to tumor development are still poorly understood. The microRNA (m...

Role of the miR-17∼92 cluster family in cerebellar and medulloblastoma development

The miR-17∼92 cluster family is composed of three members encoding microRNAs that share seed sequences. To assess their role in cerebellar and medulloblastoma (MB) development, we deleted the miR-17∼92 cluster family in Nestin-positive neural progenitors and in mice heterozygous for the Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) receptor Patched 1 (Ptch1(+/-)). We show that mice in which we conditionally deleted the...
