miRNA:

hsa-miR-21

Disease:

hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)

Relationship type:

Causal

Detection method for miRNA expression:

Northern blot, qRT-PCR etc

Expression pattern of miRNA:

up-regulated

PTEN

Validated targets of miRNA from TarBase:

PTEN,TPM1 : More...

Predicted targets: MIRANDA, TARGETSCAN, PICTAR-VERT

 

Description:

Aberrant expression of miR-21 can contribute to HCC growth and spread by modulating PTEN expression and PTEN-dependent pathways involved in mediating phenotypic characteristics of cancer cells such as cell growth, migration, and invasion.
