Using multiple computational algorithms, 8 of these upregulated proteins, including the RAD50 homolog, protein disulfide isomerase family A member 5 (PDIA5), dihydropyrimidinase-like 2 (DPYSL2), A kinase anchor protein 4 (AKAP4), lamin A, PRP19/PSO4 pre-mRNA processing factor 19 homolog (PRPF19), septin 11 and enolase 1, were predicted to be the targets of miR-27a in glioma cells. This evidence concerns the gene DPYSL2 and central nervous system cancer.
