MiR-218 promotes apoptosis of U2OS osteosarcoma cells through targeting BIRC5
OBJECTIVE: Baculoviral inhibitor of apoptosis repeat-containing 5 (BIRC5) is a member of apoptosis inhibition family which suppresses caspase activity. Osteosarcoma tissues have significantly higher BIRC5 and lower microRNA-218 (miR-218) level than adjacent tissues, indicating tumor suppressor role of miR-218 in osteosarcoma. Bioinformatics analysis showed satisfactory targeting correlation between miR-218 and 3’-UTR of BIRC5 mRNA. This … Continue reading MiR-218 promotes apoptosis of U2OS osteosarcoma cells through targeting BIRC5
