GSTP1 and prostate cancer: Patron et al. (2012) published that miR-133b reduces GSTP1 expression by 2.1 fold in prostate cancer cells. In addition, miR-513a-3p sensitizes human A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells to chemotherapy by targeting GSTP1 (Zhang et al., 2012). Mutallip et al. (2011) showed that transient transfection of miR-133a repressed the expression of GSTP1 at mRNA and protein levels. Similar results were published in human bladder cancer (Uchida et al., 2013) and earlier in lung squamous cell carcinoma (Moriya et al., 2012).
