Transcriptome analysis after ectopic transfection of synthetic miR-29b into leukemia cells indicates that miR-29b target apoptosis, cell cycle, and proliferation pathways.
Our results add new information on the transcriptional machinery that regulates miR-29b expression in AML-derived cells and may help in identifying drugs useful in upmodulation of this miRNA in pre-treatment of patients with non-APL leukaemia who can take advantage from hypomethylating agent-based therapies.
In this study, the expression of miR-29b messenger RNA (mRNA) and its targeted genes, myeloid cell leukemia sequence 1, mitogen-activated protein kinase 10 (MAPK10), and autophagy-related protein 9A (ATG9A), were investigated in ovarian carcinomas, and their associations with clinicopathological characteristics and survival of patients with ovarian cancer were analyzed.
