miRNA:

hsa-miR-221

Disease:

prostate 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:

p27Kip1(CDKN1B)

Validated targets of miRNA from TarBase:

KIT : More...

Predicted targets: MIRANDA, TARGETSCAN, PICTAR-VERT

 

Description:

miR-221/222 can be regarded as a new family of oncogenes, directly targeting the tumor suppressor p27Kip1, and that their overexpression might be one of the factors contributing to the oncogenesis and progression of prostate carcinoma through p27Kip1 down-regulation.
