“…As reported recently, miRNAs are abundant, small non-coding RNAs that mediate sequence-specific, posttranscriptional gene expression by binding to the target 3 0 UTR of mRNA, and have been implicated in the regulation of certain cancer-related processes, including development, differentiation, apoptosis and proliferation (Merkerova et al, 2008;Ruan et al, 2009;Yang et al, 2009). To date, miR-24 has been implicated in the regulation of hematopoietic differentiation and cell proliferation (Lal et al, 2008(Lal et al, , 2009Wang et al, 2008). For example, miR-24 downregulates the expression of human dihydrofolate reductase and expression of miR-24 is upregulated during differentiation of human leukemia cells.…”
