Moreover, Suzuki et al. reported that the processing of pri-miR-143 and pri-miR-145 required the interaction of the tumor suppressor p53 and the Drosha complex through the association with p68/p72 in colon cancer cells, suggesting that the full expression of miR-143 and miR-145 might be involved in tumor suppressing signaling driven by p53 [14]. Here, DDX5 is linked to colonic neoplasm.
