Differential expression of microRNAs in tumors from chronically inflamed or genetic (APC(Min/+)) models of colon cancer.

<h4>Background</h4>Chronic inflammation associated with ulcerative colitis predisposes individuals to increased colon cancer risk. The aim of these studies was to identify microRNAs that are aberrantly regulated during inflammation and may participate in transformation of colonic epithel...

This response is not dependent on the mechanism of initiation of transformation (inflammation versus germline mutation), suggesting that the miRNAs that we have identified are likely to regulate critical signaling pathways that are central to early events in transformation of colonic epithelial cells.Brian M NecelaJennifer M CarrYan W AsmannE Aubrey ThompsonPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 6, Iss 4, p e18501 (2011)
