Although the tumour suppressive function of miR-34a in melanomagenesis has still to be elucidated in detail, Migliore et al (2008) demonstrated that a reduced expression of miR-34b, miR-34c, and miR-199a* represents an additional pathway of regulating the expression of the MET oncogene in melanocytic cells as well. Here, MET is linked to neoplasm.
