Essential role of MED1 in the transcriptional regulation of ER-dependent oncogenic miRNAs in breast cancer

Abstract Mediator complex has been extensively shown to regulate the levels of several protein-coding genes; however, its role in the regulation of miRNAs in humans remains unstudied so far. Here we show that MED1, a Mediator subunit in the Middle module of Mediator complex, is overexpressed in brea...
