miRNA:

hsa-miR-21

Disease:

breast cancer

Relationship type:

Causal

Detection method for miRNA expression:

Northern blot, qRT-PCR etc

Expression pattern of miRNA:

up-regulated

Validated targets of miRNA from the reference:

PDCD4, TPM1, maspin

Validated targets of miRNA from TarBase:

PTEN,TPM1 : More...

Predicted targets: MIRANDA, TARGETSCAN, PICTAR-VERT

 

Description:

Suppression of mir-21 in metastatic breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells significantly reduces invasion and lung metastasis. Consistent with this, ectopic expression of TPM1 remarkably reduced cell invasion. Furthermore, miR-21 targets direactly programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) and maspin, both of which have been implicated in invasion and metastasis.
