| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently microRNAs are investigated as a therapeutic marker or a target for hematologic malignancies. Based on the results of miR analysis of primary pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), we picked up several target miRs including miR-146a and investigated its activities in various ALL cell lines using a miR sensing vector and a miR knock down vector. Mir-146a is generally upregulated and differentially expressed in most cell lines. Knocking down of this miR resulted in 30-50% reduction of colony formation. Underlying molecular mechanism is under investigation by RNA-seq.
