MicroRNAs and Their Therapeutic Potential for Human Diseases: MicroRNAs, miR-143 and -145, Function as Anti-oncomirs and the Application of Chemically Modified miR-143 as an Anti-cancer Drug
Abstract.: We examined the expression levels of microRNAs (miRNAs; miRs) in colorectal tumors (63 cancer specimens and 65 adenoma specimens) compared to adjacent non-tumorous tissues. Decreased expression of miR-143 and -145 was frequently observed in the adenoma and cancer samples. As the down-regu...
