Suppression of PDHX by microRNA-27b deregulates cell metabolism and promotes growth in breast cancer

Abstract Background The disruption of normal gene regulation due to microRNA dysfunction is a common event in cancer pathogenesis. MicroRNA-27b is an example of an oncogenic miRNA, and it is frequently upregulated in breast cancer. MicroRNAs have been found to deregulate tumor metabolism, which typi...
