Bioinformatics study of the MIR-200 family and the target genes in Prostate Cancer

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Considering the limitations of the common diagnostic test for prostate cancer prostate cancer, the introduction of higher-specific biomarkers for a more accurate and timely diagnosis of prostate cancer is desired. In this study, we aimed to investigate the miR-200 family [miR-200a, miR-200b, miR-200c, miR-141, and miR-429] and their target genes using bioinformatics prediction tools in order to propose potential diagnostic biomarkers for prostate cancer
