23773491;24832083 The prognostic significance of APC gene mutation and miR 21 expression in advanced stage colorectal cancer; The aim of this study was to analyse the association of APC gene mutation and miR-21 expression with clinical outcome in CRC patients; APC gene mutation and expression of APC and miR-21 were analysed by direct DNA sequencing and real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction; APC gene expression was low in CRC and negatively correlated with miR-21 expression and gene mutation; In Taiwan downregulation of the APC gene in CRC correlated with gene mutation and miR-21 upregulation; APC mutation and miR-21 expression could be used to predict the clinical outcome of CRC especially in patients with advanced disease;MicroRNA 21 promotes tumour malignancy via increased nuclear translocation of β catenin and predicts poor outcome in APC mutated but not in APC wild type colorectal cancer; However in our preliminary data the prognostic value of miR-21 levels was observed only in adenomatous polyposis coli APC-mutated tumours not in APC-wild-type tumours; We enrolled 165 colorectal tumour to determine APC mutation miR-21 levels and nuclear β-catenin expression by direct sequencing real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry staging; colorectal cancer;colorectal cancer hsa-miR-21-5p APOLD1 1.51084295924322 1.54551622173259e-34 0.453740241904891

resected NSCLC patients the expression levels of miR-21 10b in patients with EGFR mutation were much higher than those without mutation;Thus the miR-21 inhibitor might interrupt the activity of EGFR pathways independently of PTEN status;Further the expression of miR-21 is regulated by EGFR via the activation of β-catenin and AP-1; These data indicate that a feedback loop exists between miR-21 and EGFR; These results clarify a novel association between miR-21 and EGFR in the regulation of cancer cell progression;MiR 21 overexpression is associated with acquired resistance of EGFR TKI in non small cell lung cancer;Higher expression levels of miR-21 AmiR-27a and miR-218 detected in this study suggest potential roles of these miRNAs in primary resistance to EGFR-TKI in advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 19 deletion mutations;MiR 21 is an EGFR regulated anti apoptotic factor in lung cancer in never smokers; The changes in expression of some of these miRNAs including miR-21 were more remarkable in cases with EGFR mutations than in those without these mutations; In the never-smoker-derived lung adenocarcinoma cell line H3255 with mutant EGFR and high levels of p-EGFR and miR-21 antisense inhibition of miR-21 enhanced AG1478-induced apoptosis; In a never-smoker-derived adenocarcinoma cell line H441 with wild-type EGFR the antisense miR-21 not only showed the additive effect with AG1478 but also induced apoptosis by itself; These results suggest that aberrantly increased expression of miR-21 which is enhanced further by the activated EGFR signaling pathway plays a significant role in lung carcinogenesis in never-smokers as well as in smokers and is a potential therapeutic target in both EGFR-mutant and wild-type cases;Nickel may contribute to EGFR mutation and synergistically promotes tumor invasion in EGFR mutated lung cancer via nickel induced microRNA 21 expression;Downregulation of miR 21 inhibits EGFR pathway and suppresses the growth of human glioblastoma cells independent of PTEN status ;;progression;drug resistance;staging;drug resistance;tumorigenesis;; lung squamous cell cancer;glioblastoma;glioblastoma;lung squamous cell cancer;lung

decreased phosphorylated-Akt protein level; However PI3K activator IGF-1 reversed suppression of phosphorylated-Akt protein level and promotion of apoptosis of A549 cells after IR caused by miR-21 knockdown; Silencing miR-21 in radioresistant NSCLC A549 cells sensitized them to IR by inhibiting cell proliferation and enhancing cell apoptosis through inhibition of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway;In addition we also demonstrated that miR-21 confers decreased autophagy in cervical cancer cells after IR via the Akt-mTOR signaling pathway;In this study we found that miR-21 expression was upregulated in response to ionizing radiation IR in U251 cells which suggested that miR-21 could be involved in the response of U251 cells to radiation; We showed that a miR-21 inhibitor enhanced IR-induced

the repression of MAP2K3 was inversely correlated with the expression of miR-21 in HCC; Further study demonstrated that the MAP2K3 was a novel direct target of miR-21 which was experimentally validated by a miRNA luciferase reporter approach; In HepG2 cells inhibition of miR-21 expression with an adenoviral miR-21 sponge vector profoundly suppressed cell proliferation by up-regulating MAP2K3 expression at both mRNA and protein levels; These results provide a clinical evidence that MAP2K3 may be a tumor repressor gene and it is a direct target of miR-21 in HCC indicating an

miR 21 promotes migration and invasion by the miR 21 PDCD4 AP 1 feedback loop in human hepatocellular carcinoma; The expression level of miR-21 was inversely correlated with the protein expression level of a previously identified target gene programmed cell death 4 PDCD4;HBx mediated miR 21 upregulation represses tumor suppressor function of PDCD4 in hepatocellular carcinoma; HBx downregulates PDCD4 expression at least partially through miR-21; Taken together this study reported for the first time that HBx downregulates PDCD4 and upregulates miR-21 expression; The deregulation of PDCD4 by HBx through miR-21 represents a potential novel mechanism of the downregulation of PDCD4 in HBV-related HCC and provides new insights into HCC development;Transfection of anti-miR-21 rendered HCC cells sensitive to IFN-α/5-FU and such sensitivity was weakened by transfection of siRNAs of target molecules PETN and PDCD4 miR-21 expression in clinical HCC specimens was significantly associated with the clinical response to the IFN-α/5-FU combination therapy and survival rate;PDCD4 and PTEN expression was decreased gradually after tumor induction and negatively correlated with miR-21 expression; Our in vivo experiments further confirmed that miR-21 plays an important role in promoting the occurrence and development of HCC by regulating PDCD4 and PTEN;We identified miR-21 was directly downregulated by RBP2 and found that miR-21 downregulated PDCD4 expression in leukemia cells;MTCs were consistently associated with miR-21 up-regulation P < .0016 and featured significant PDCD4 nuclear down-regulation; An inverse correlation emerged between miR-21 overexpression and PDCD4 down-regulation P = .0013; This study showed in MTCs that miR-21 regulates PDCD4 expression and also that the miR-21/PDCD4 pathway correlates with clinicopathological variables and prognosis;Although microRNA-21 miR-21 is emerging as an oncogene and has been shown to target several tumor suppressor genes including programmed cell death 4 PDCD4 its precise mechanism of action on cancer stem cells CSCs is unclear; Herein we report that FOLFOX-resistant HCT-116 and HT-29 cells that are enriched in CSCs show a 3- to 7-fold upregulation of pre- and mature miR-21 and downregulation of PDCD4; Likewise overexpression of miR-21 in HCT-116 cells achieved through stable transfection led to the downregulation of PDCD4 and transforming growth factor beta receptor 2 TGFβR2;Prognostic significance of PDCD4 expression and association with microRNA 21 in each Dukes' stage of colorectal cancer patients; Furthermore relationships between the PDCD4 mRNA and microRNA-21 miR-21 were evaluated; The PDCD4 mRNA was investigated by the quantitative real-time RT-PCR method and miR-21 was examined by TaqMan microRNA assays; Significant inverse correlations were demonstrated between PDCD4 and miR-21;This short review will focus on our recent finding that the microRNA miR-21 posttranscriptionally regulates Pdcd4 as well as invasion intravasation and metastasis;PDCD4 expression inversely correlated with miR 21 levels in gastric cancers;MicroRNA 21 Down regulates Rb1 Expression by Targeting PDCD4 in Retinoblastoma; MicroRNA-21 miR-21 possesses the oncogenic potential to target several tumor suppressor genes including PDCD4 and regulates tumor progression and metastasis; However the mechanism of how miR-21 regulates PDCD4 is poorly understood in RB; Using the TargetScan program we identified a list of potential target genes of these miRNAs of which PDCD4 is one the targets of miR-21; In this study we focused on the regulatory mechanism of miR-21 on PDCD4 in RB; We demonstrated an inverse correlation between miR-21 and PDCD4 expression in Weri-Rb1 and Y79 cells; These data suggest that miR-21 down-regulates Rb1 by targeting PDCD4 tumor suppressor;MicroRNA 21 promotes cell proliferation and down regulates the expression of programmed cell death 4 PDCD4 in HeLa cervical carcinoma cells; In this study we found that the inhibition of miR-21 in HeLa cervical cancer cells caused profound suppression of cell proliferation and up-regulated the expression of the tumor suppressor gene PDCD4;Additionally resveratrol increased the expression of tumor suppressors PDCD4 and maspin which are negatively regulated by miR-21; Short interfering si RNA against PDCD4 attenuated resveratrol's effect on prostate cancer cells and similar effects were observed following over expression of miR-21 with pre-miR-21 oligonucleotides; MiR-21 expression in these cells appeared to be dependent on Akt as LY294002 reduced the levels of miR-21 along with a concurrent increase in PDCD4 expression; These tumor- and metastatic-suppressive effects of resveratrol were

associated fibroblasts from gastric cancer promotes cell migration and invasion by targeting PTEN;We further identified PTEN and p21 as novel direct targets of miR-106b by using target prediction algorithms and a luciferase assay; Overexpression of miR-106b reduced the expression of PTEN and p21 and increased the expression of p-AKT which is a downstream of PTEN; Restoring the expression of PTEN or p21 in stably miR-106b-overexpressed cells could rescue the effect of miR-106b on cell radioresistance; These observations illustrated that miR-106b could induce cell radioresistance by directly targeting PTEN and p21 this process was accompanied by tumour-initiating cell capacity enhancement which is universally confirmed to be associated with radioresistance;Cantharidin modulates

bladder cancer through FAK and Akt phosphorylation by regulating PTEN; In clinical bladder cancer specimens downregulation of PTEN was found to be closely correlated with miR-130 family expression levels;MiR 130b plays an oncogenic role by repressing PTEN expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells; We confirmed that miR-130b interacted with the 3'-untranslated region of PTEN and that an increase in the expression level of miR-130b negatively affected the protein level of PTEN; However the dysregulation of miR-130b had no obvious impact on PTEN mRNA; As Akt is a downstream effector of PTEN we explored if miR-130b affected Akt expression and found that miR-130b indirectly regulated the level of phosphorylated Akt while total Akt protein remained unchanged; The results indicate that miR-130b plays an oncogenic role in ESCC cells by repressing PTEN expression and Akt phosphorylation which would be helpful in developing miRNA-based treatments for ESCC cell migration;

MicroRNA 21 suppresses PTEN and hSulf 1 expression and promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression through AKT/ERK pathways;MicroRNA 21 regulates expression of the PTEN tumor suppressor gene in human hepatocellular cancer; PTEN was shown to be a direct target of miR-21 and to contribute to miR-21 effects on cell invasion; Modulation of miR-21 altered focal adhesion kinase phosphorylation and expression of matrix metalloproteases 2 and 9 both downstream mediators of PTEN involved in cell migration and invasion; Aberrant expression of miR-21 can contribute to HCC growth and spread by modulating PTEN expression and PTEN-dependent pathways involved in mediating phenotypic characteristics of cancer cells such as cell growth migration and invasion;PDCD4 and PTEN expression was decreased gradually after tumor induction and negatively correlated with miR-21 expression; Our in vivo experiments further confirmed that miR-21 plays an important role in promoting the occurrence and development of HCC by regulating PDCD4 and PTEN;Exposure of HCC cells to sorafenib led to an increase in miR-21 expression a decrease in PTEN expression and sequential Akt activation;In addition

the change of PTEN expression after lowered expression of miR-21 in gastric cancer cell lines; The western blot results and Luciferase Reporter Assay demonstrated that PTEN expression was remarkably increased after miR-21 inhibition P<0.05 microRNA-21 expression was upregulated in gastric carcinoma tissues and was significantly associated with the degree of differentiation of tumour tissues local invasion and lymph node metastasis;Furthermore we identified that miR-21 overexpression could promote Hela and U2OS cells proliferation by targeting phosphatase-tensin homolog PTEN the result of which can be rescued by miR-21 inhibitor;Inhibition of microRNA-21 mir‑21 induced upregulation of Spry2 and PTEN which underscores the importance of mir-21 in Spry2-associated tumorigenesis of the colon;Bmi-1 also regulates p53 and PTEN via miR-21;Here we demonstrated that miR-21 expression was up-regulated and its function was elevated in HER2+ BT474 SKBR3 and MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cells that are induced to acquire trastuzumab resistance by long-term exposure to the antibody whereas protein expression of the PTEN gene a miR-21 target was reduced; Rescuing PTEN expression with a p3XFLAG-PTEN-mut construct with deleted miR-21 targeting sequence at its 3' UTR restored the growth inhibition of trastuzumab in the resistant cells by inducing PTEN activation and AKT inhibition; In vivo administering miR-21 antisense oligonucleotides restored trastuzumab sensitivity in the resistant breast cancer xenografts by inducing PTEN expression whereas injection of miR-21 mimics conferred trastuzumab resistant in the sensitive breast tumors via PTEN silence;The expression of miR-21 and its target PTEN was determined by real-time qRT-PCR and western blotting respectively in tumor tissues as well as adjacent non-tumor mucosa; miR-21 was significantly up-regulated in tumor tissues while PTEN was expressed in lower levels compared to non-tumor tissues; A negative correlation between expression of miR-21 and PTEN was established in vivo;MicroRNA 21 inhibitor sensitizes human glioblastoma cells U251 PTEN mutant and LN229 PTEN wild type to taxol; Human glioblastoma U251 PTEN-mutant and LN229 PTEN wild-type cells were treated with taxol and the miR-21 inhibitor in a poly amidoamine PAMAM dendrimer alone or in combination; Interestingly the above data suggested that in both the PTEN mutant and the wild-type GBM cells miR-21 blockage increased the chemosensitivity to taxol; Thus the miR-21 inhibitor might interrupt the activity of EGFR pathways independently of PTEN status;The effect of ZA on miR-21 expression was quantified by qRT-PCR and the amount of PTEN protein and its targets were analyzed by Western blot;NTR1 activation stimulates expression of miR-21 and miR-155 in colonocytes via Akt and NF-κB to down-regulate PTEN and SOCS1 and promote growth of tumors in mice;Correlations between the expression levels of miR-21 PTEN and p-AKT were analyzed by real-time PCR and Western blot test in HER2-positive GC cell lines; Overexpression of miR-21 down-regulated PTEN expression increased AKT phosphorylation and did not affect HER2 expression; Inversely suppression of miR-21 increased PTEN expression and down-regulated AKT phosphorylation but still did not affect HER2 expression;MicroRNA 21 promotes TGF β1 induced epithelial mesenchymal transition in gastric cancer through up regulating PTEN expression; In GC tissues the expressions of miR-21 Akt and p-Akt were up-regulated while PTEN expression was down-regulated; These results suggest that miR-21 could promote TGF-β1-induced EMT in GC cells through up-regulating PTEN expression;Expressions of PTEN were significantly down-regulated in CRC tissues and negatively correlated with expressions of Notch-1 r2=0.5207 p<0.01 and miR-21 r2=0.6996 p<0.01; These data indicate that the crosstalk between Notch-1 and miR-21 is involved in CRC development through degradation of PTEN;In the same patients we also compared miR-21 expression with the expression of its presumed target PTEN; miR-21 expression levels were found to significantly correlate with tumour size r = 0.403 p = 0.009; Spearman's rank whereas no relation was found between miR-21 and PTEN expression levels Kruskal-Wallis test;Over-expression of miR-21 suppressed its target PTEN and disrupted acinar morphogenesis;There was overexpression of the miR-21 target genes PTEN by 67% and caspase-3 by 15% upon cotreatment;We previously reported that microRNA-21 miR-21 was strongly expressed in melanoma relative to naevi and now sought to further assess the significance of this by assessing its relationship with its putative target PTEN; Clinical melanoma samples were analysed by immunohistochemical analysis for PTEN stem-loop qRT-PCR for miR-21 and PCR for BRAF/NRAS mutation status; miR-21 expression was inversely associated with nuclear PTEN expression but not with cytoplasmic PTEN expression; These data suggest miR-21 may exert an oncogenic effect in melanoma by favouring redistribution of PTEN to the nucleus;Triptolide reduces proliferation and enhances apoptosis of human non small cell lung cancer cells through PTEN by targeting miR 21; To the best of our knowledge the present study is the first to demonstrate that triptolide reduced the proliferation and enhanced the apoptosis of

of miR-21;The level of miR-21 was reversely correlated with the expression of PTEN and PDCD4 and positive correlated with PI3K/Akt pathway; miR-21 is involved in acquired resistance of EGFR-TKI in NSCLC which is mediated by down-regulating PTEN and PDCD4 and activating PI3K/Akt pathway;MicroRNA 21 modulates chemosensitivity of breast cancer cells to doxorubicin by targeting PTEN; TaqMan RT-PCR or Western blot assay was performed to detect the expression of mature miR-21 and tumor suppressor gene PTEN protein; We showed that upregulation of miR-21 in MCF-7/ADR cells was concurrent with downregulation of PTEN protein; Overexpression of PTEN could mimic the same effects of miR-21 inhibitor in MCF-7/ADR cells and PTEN-siRNA could increase the resistance of MCF-7 cells to ADR; MiR-21 inhibitor could increase PTEN protein expression and the luciferase activity of a PTEN 3' untranslated region-based reporter construct in MCF-7/ADR cells; Dysregulation of miR-21 plays critical roles in the ADR resistance of breast cancer at least in part via targeting PTEN;MiR-21 level was inversely correlated with the levels of FOXO1 and PTEN in DLBCL cell lines; MiR-21 also down-regulated PTEN expression and consequently activated the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway which further decreased FOXO1 expression;In present study we determined the miR-21 levels in TNBC specimens and TNBC cell levels in vitro and then identified the role of miR-21 on tumor cell proliferation apoptosis and then identified PTEN as the possible target of the microRNA;MiR 21 suppresses the anticancer activities of

expression blocked miR-21-induced EMT and gemcitabine resistance;We also found that Rawq01 up-regulated the expression of PTEN through mir-21 inhibition and therefore inhibited the PI3K-AKT pathway;Moreover we demonstrate that oligonucleotide-mediated miR-21 silencing in U87 human GBM cells resulted in increased levels of the tumor suppressors PTEN and PDCD4 caspase 3/7 activation and decreased tumor cell proliferation;Overexpression of miR 21 promotes the proliferation and migration of cervical cancer cells via the inhibition of PTEN; The aim of this study was to examine the expression of miR-21 and PTEN in cervical cancer specimens using quantitative PCR; miR-21 was upregulated in the cervical cancer specimens negatively correlating with the PTEN mRNA level; Transfection of the miR-21 mimics was markedly promoted whereas the miR-21 inhibitor suppressed the proliferation migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells with a significant inhibition of PTEN expression;

PTEN protein expression 2.3-fold in TE-1 cells; Knockdown of PTEN in anti-miR-21 TE-1 cells could abrogate the miR-21 inhibition-induced radiosensitization P < 0.05; Inhibition of miR-21 increased radiosensitivity of esophageal cancer TE-1 cells and this effect was possibly through the activation of PTEN;MicroRNA 21 miR 21 expression promotes growth metastasis and chemo or radioresistance in

miR-21 mimics accumulation of miR-21 was obviously increased and expression of PTEN protein was decreased to be approximately 40% which resulted in the promotion of cell proliferation; However when transfected with miR-21 inhibitor expression of miR-21 was declined and PTEN protein was overexpressed to be approximately 79% which resulted in the suppression of cell proliferation; Furthermore there was a significantly inverse correlation between miR-21 expression and PTEN protein levels p < 0.05; The author concluded that MiR-21 was overexpressed in vitro and ESCC and promoted the cell

determine the expression levels of SATB1 as well as miR-21-5p -the post-transcriptional repressor of SATB1 expression- in clear cell renal cell carcinoma ccRCC and to investigate their association with the progression of ccRCC; Immunohistochemistry and quantitative polymerase chain reaction were used to assess the expression of SATB1 protein and mRNA as well as miR-21-5p in tumor and matched normal kidney tissues collected from 56 ccRCC patients; SATB1 mRNA level was down-regulated in ccRCC tissue and inversely correlated with the content of miR-21-5p; Down-regulation of SATB1 mRNA and up-regulation of miR-21-5p were associated with shorter patient survival; Decreased expression of SATB1 in ccRCC may result from over-expressed miR-21-5p worse prognosis;progression;poor survival

the expression of MSH2 and SMAD7 two important molecules involving TGF-β pathway was restored following miR-21 knockdown in both MCF-7 and Hs578T breast cancer cells;MicroRNA 21 Regulates Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Cell Invasion and Chemo Sensitivity through SMAD7; We performed bioinformatics analyses on the binding of microRNA-21 miR-21 to the 3'-UTR of SMAD7 mRNA and verified the biological effects of this binding using promoter luciferase reporter assay; Furthermore expression of miR-21 was found to be inhibited by Carboplatin and bioinformatics analyses showed that miR-21 targeted the 3'-UTR of SMAD7 mRNA to inhibit its translation which was confirmed by luciferase reporter assay; Carboplatin may upregulate SMAD7 through suppression of miR-21 to inhibit TGFβ receptor signaling mediated NSCLC cell invasion;MicroRNA 21 induces breast cancer cell invasion and migration by suppressing smad7 via EGF and TGF β pathways; The present study was undertaken to determine the association of miR-21 smad7 EGF and TGF-β with breast cancer cell invasion and migration and to identify the molecular mechanisms involved using immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis; Smad7 was confirmed to be a direct target of miR-21 by luciferase reporter and western blot assays; The downregulation of smad7 by miR-21 or sismad7 enhanced EGF-dependent invasion and migration as well as TGF-β-dependent invasion and migration; The actions of miR-21 were abrogated by expressing a modified smad7 cDNA resistant to miR-21; In conclusion our results demonstrated that plasma miR-21 levels may serve as a diagnostic marker in breast cancers whereas miR-21 promotes breast cancer cell proliferation and invasion by suppressing smad7 which enhances EGF and TGF-β pathways ;; breast

21 axis downregulates transforming growth factor beta receptor II TGFBR2 expression in prostate cancer; Our results revealed that miR-21 suppresses TGFBR2 levels by binding to its 3'-UTR and AR signaling further potentiates this effect in both untransformed and transformed human prostate epithelial cells as well as in human prostate cancers; Manipulation of androgen signaling or the expression levels of AR or miR-21 negatively altered TGFBR2 expression in untransformed and transformed human prostate epithelial cells human prostate cancer xenografts and mouse prostate glands; Together these results suggest that the AR and miR-21 axis exerts its oncogenic effects in prostate tumors by downregulating TGFBR2 hence inhibiting the tumor-suppressive activity of TGFβ pathway

MMP inhibitors RECK and TIMP3 which are known to impact HCC progression and metastases; Finally we found that inhibition of miR-21 in murine HMGB1-overexpressing HCC xenografts led to reduced tumor MMP activity through released repression of the miR-21 targets RECK and TIMP3 which ultimately impeded tumor progression;Genetic heterogeneity of breast cancer metastasis may be related to miR 21 regulation of TIMP 3 in translation; The aim of this study is to determine whether microRNA-21 miR-21 a specific microRNA implicated in multiple aspects of carcinogenesis promoted breast cancer metastasis by regulating the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 TIMP-3 gene; Correlation analysis was performed between miR-21 and TIMP-3; There was significantly inverse correlation between miR-21 and TIMP-3 extracted from tissue;The effect of TIMP3 on miR-21-induced cell survival was determined by transfection with TIMP3 lacking 3' untranslated region and miR-21;The aim of this study was to determine whether microRNA-21 miR-21 a specific microRNA implicated in multiple aspects of carcinogenesis impacts breast cancer invasion by regulating the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 TIMP3 gene; In addition the regulation of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 TIMP3 by miR-21 was evaluated by western blotting and luciferase assays; Evaluation of TIMP3 protein levels a peptidase involved in extarcellular matrix degredation inversely correlated with miR-21 expression; As knockdown of miR-21 increased TIMP3 protein expression and luciferase reporter activity our data suggests that miR-21 could promote invasion in breast cancer cells via its regulation of TIMP3;It was previously shown by our group that miR-21 a potential regulator of TIMP3 is over-expressed in cutaneous melanoma; It was therefore hypothesized that increased levels of miR-21 expression would lead to decreased expression of TIMP3 and thereby enhance the invasiveness of melanoma cells; Reduced expression of TIMP3 was achieved by siRNA knockdown and significantly enhanced invasion of melanoma cell lines mimicking the effects of miR-21 over-expression; Treatment of tumor cells with a linked nucleic acid antagomir to miR-21 inhibited tumor growth and increased tumor expression of TIMP3 in vivo in 01B74 Athymic NCr-nu/nu mice; This data shows that increased expression of miR-21 enhanced
