miRNA:

hsa-miR-221

Disease:

hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)

Relationship type:

Unspecified

Detection method for miRNA expression:

Northern blot, qRT-PCR etc

Expression pattern of miRNA:

up-regulated

Validated targets of miRNA from the reference:

unknown

Validated targets of miRNA from TarBase:

KIT : More...

Predicted targets: MIRANDA, TARGETSCAN, PICTAR-VERT

 

Description:

Three of the deregulated miRNAs (miR-221, let-7a-1, and miR-122a) were further assayed by Northern blot and quantitative realtime RT-PCR for validation purposes.Overall, Northern blot analysis revealed that miR-221 was up-regulated in 83% of HCCs when compared with matched cirrhotic tissue, let-7a-1 was down-regulated in 70% of HCCs, and miR-122a resulted down-regulated in 70% of HCCs.
