Abstract:

Objective To explore the mechanism on down-regulation ofRb1expression in Rb cells. Methods In our study, the expression of miR-26a andRb1was detected by real-time PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Results Here, it was shown that miR-26a was differentially expressed in human retinoblastoma cells and tissues, compared with human retinal microvascular endothelial cells. Our results also showed that miR-26a tightly regulated the expression ofRb1by specifically targeting a conserved sequence motif in its 3' UTR, resulting in a low expression ofRb1in retinoblastoma cells. Conclusion The expression of tumor supressor geneRb1was down-regulated by miR-26a in Y79 Rb cells.

Key words: retinoblastoma, miR-26a, tumor supressor gene
