| Research Abstract |
The target miRNAs for SnoN were investigated in esophageal cancer. Using human esophageal cancer cell lines, SnoN expression was inhibited using siRNA, and altered miRNAs were identified as miR-720, miR-1274A, miR-1274B with p63 and ADAM9 as the possible relevant genes. The induction of SnoN expression was positively correlated to miRNA expression. However, the effect of SnoN expression on cell growth is still unclear and needs further investigation.
