In contrast to BRCA1 [7] and p63 [21], which are transcriptional repressors of miR-155, FOXP3, a member of the forkhead-box/winged-helix transcription factor family, is a transcriptional inducer of miR-155 in the breast cancer cell lines, BT549 and MDA-MB-231 [19]. Here, BRCA1 is linked to breast carcinoma.
