| 摘要 |
The present invention relates generally to methods to regulate microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis, in particular the regulation of the processing of pri-miRNA to mature miRNA by Lin-28 and/or variants such as Lin28B. In particular, the present invention relates to methods and compositions comprising at least one agent which inhibits Lin-28 function or activity and/or expression to increase the processing of pri-mRNA to mature miRNA. More specifically, one aspect of the invention is directed to treating and/or preventing cancer in a subject by administering an agent that inhibits Lin-28 activity or expression to a subject, preferably a human subject. |
