microRNA-7 inhibits the epidermal growth factor receptor and the Akt pathway and is down-regulated in glioblastoma

B Kefas, J Godlewski, L Comeau, Y Li, R Abounader… - Cancer research, 2008 - AACR
microRNAs are noncoding RNAs inhibiting expression of numerous target genes, and a few
have been shown to act as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. We show that microRNA-7 (…

MicroRNA-34a inhibits glioblastoma growth by targeting multiple oncogenes

…, B Lopes, D Schiff, B Purow, R Abounader - Cancer research, 2009 - AACR
MicroRNA-34a (miR-34a) is a transcriptional target of p53 that is down-regulated in some
cancer cell lines. We studied the expression, targets, and functional effects of miR-34a in brain …

microRNA-34a is tumor suppressive in brain tumors and glioma stem cells

…, A Catania, Y Li, D Schiff, B Purow, R Abounader - Cell cycle, 2010 - Taylor & Francis
We recently found that microRNA-34a (miR-34a) is downregulated in human glioma tumors
as compared to normal brain, and that miR-34a levels in mutant-p53 gliomas were lower …

Effect of DMT1 knockdown on iron, cadmium, and lead uptake in Caco-2 cells

DI Bannon, R Abounader, PSJ Lees… - American Journal of …, 2003 - journals.physiology.org
DMT1 (divalent metal transporter 1) is a hydrogen-coupled divalent metal transporter with a
substrate preference for iron, although the protein when expressed in frog oocytes transports …
