  • Compositions and methods for decreasing microrna expression for the treatment of neoplasia
    Publication number: 20090209621
    Abstract: The invention generally features compositions and methods that are useful for treating or diagnosing a neoplasia. The invention is based in part on the observation that c-Myc activated expression of a cluster of six miRNAs on human chromosome 13. Accordingly, the invention provides therapeutic compositions and methods for altering the expression of a microRNA of the invention thereby treating a neoplasia, as well as compositions and methods for diagnosing a neoplasia.
