Epigenetic regulation of microRNA genes and the role of miR-34b in cell invasion and motility in human melanoma.

Epigenetic regulation of microRNA genes and the role of miR-34b in cell invasion and motility in human melanoma.

Invasive melanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer. The treatment of melanoma-derived cell lines with 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-dC) markedly increases the expression of several miRNAs, suggesting that the miRNA-encoding genes might be epigenetically regulated, either directly or indir...
