Research Abstract |
Preliminary experiment of microRNA (miRNA) microarray disclosed miRNA-199/214 as a hallmark of iron saccharate-induced sarcomatoid malignant mesothelioma. With the aid of this grant, elevation of miRNA-199/214 was confirmed by real-time PCR and ISH. Twist-1, which transcribes miRNA-199/214, was detected in sacromatoid mesothelioma and asbestos-induced malignant peritoneal mesothelioma and cultured cell lines. Transfection of miR-199/214 into immortalized mesothelial cell line increased cell growth, providing evidence of a functional role of miRNA-199/214.
