CASP3 and non-small cell lung carcinoma: Bioinformatics analyses suggested that CASP3 and CASP7 are potential targets of miR-224, as the 3′UTRs of both transcripts contain sequences complementary to the miR-224 seed sequence (Figure 1a and 1b), which could explain the observed pro-survival effects of miR-224 in NSCLC.
