Abstract:As cancer is a multifactorial disease, the multimodal action of microRNAs makes them an attractive tool for novel therapeutic approaches. The tumor suppressive miR-7-5p has been shown to act on many aspects of oncogenesis, including cell proliferation, migration and angiogenesis, by targeting a spectrum of key genes. We developed a synthetic chemically modified miR-7-5p mimic, 5A2, and performed a comprehensive functional characterization in a panel of human cancer cell lines. 5A2 reduced cell proliferation in… Show more
