TREATMENT, DIAGNOSTIC, AND METHOD FOR DISCOVERING ANTAGONIST USING SPARC SPECIFIC MIRNAS

摘要

miRNAs that regulate human SPARC and methods of use thereof are described. Suitable nucleic acids for use in the methods and compositions described herein include, but are not limited to, pri-miRNA, pre-miRNA, ds miRNA, mature miRNA or fragments of variants thereof that retain the biological activity of the mature miRNA and DNA encoding a pri-miRNA, pre-miRNA, mature miRNA, fragments or variants thereof, or regulatory elements of the miRNA.
