miRNA:

hsa-miR-29b

Disease:

lung cancer

Relationship type:

Causal

Detection method for miRNA expression:

Northern blot, qRT-PCR etc

Expression pattern of miRNA:

down-regulated

Validated targets of miRNA from the reference:

DNMT3A, DNMT3B

Validated targets of miRNA from TarBase:

unknown : More...

Predicted targets: MIRANDA, TARGETSCAN, PICTAR-VERT

 

Description:

Expression of miR-29s is inversely correlated to DNA methyltransferase(DNMT)3A and -3B in lung cancer tissues, and that miR-29s directly target both DNMT3A and -3B.The enforced expression of miR-29s in lung cancer cell lines restores normal patterns of DNA methylation, induces reexpression of methylation-silenced tumor suppressor genes.
