ncRNA name | hsa-miR-137 |
ncRNA Category | miRNA |
Disease name | uveal melanoma (UM) |
Species | Homo sapiens |
Tissues/Cell_line | human UM cell lines M17, M2 and SP6.5; human uveal melanocytes um95; human embryonic kidney cell line HEK293 |
Methods | qRT-PCR, MTS assay, flow cytometry, luciferase reporter assay, Western blot |
Expression pattern | down-regulated |
Functional description | miR-137 can act as a tumor suppressor in uveal melanoma cell proliferation through downregulation of the targets MITF and CDK6. miR-137 may be epigenetically silenced during uveal melanoma tumorigenesis. |
