Hypomethylation Causes MIR21 Overexpression in Tumors

miR-21 is an oncogenic microRNA (miRNA) that is upregulated in many solid tumors. However, the effect of MIR21 hypomethylation on miR-21 expression in tumors and the mechanism of miR-21 DNA demethylation remain unclear. In this study, we confirmed that the expression of miR-21 was significantly incr...
