A number of microRNAs, viz., miR-205, miR-383, miR-572, miR-371-373, miR-100, miR-32, miR-206, miR-147, miR-221/222, etc. playing diverse roles in cancer cell proliferation and metastasis, differentiation, epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), inflammation and many other vital cellular functions have been predicted to be SMAR1 targets by ChIP-seq analysis16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24. The gene discussed is BANP; the disease is cancer.
