MicroRNA let-7b downregulates AML1-ETO oncogene expression in t(8;21) AML by targeting its 3′UTR

Abstract Background Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with the t(8;21)(q22;q22) chromosomal translocation is among the most common subtypes of AML and produces the AML1-ETO (RUNX1-ETO, RUNX1-RUNX1T1) oncogenic fusion gene. AML1-ETO functions as an aberrant transcription factor which plays a key role in b...
