Research Abstract |
We found that microRNA (miR)-15a was expressed at a much lower level in Nasal NK/T cell lymphoma (NNKTL) cells than in normal peripheral NK-cells and EBV-negative NK-cell line KHYG-1. In NNKTL, down-regulation of miR-15a possibly due to LMP1 implicates in the pathogenesis of NNKTL through cell proliferation via enhancing expressions of the targeting MYB and cyclin D1.
