microRNA expression alteration after arsenic trioxide treatment in HepG‐2 cells

Abstract

Arsenic trioxide altered miRNA expression profile in HepG-2 cells. Among the altered miRNA, miR-29a seemed to take a role in the mechanism of arsenic trioxide in liver cancer therapy. The synergy effect between miR-29a and arsenic trioxide may offer this drug a new chance in cancer therapy by decreasing its dose and toxic side-effects.
