Overexpression of miR-7 in hepatocellular and colorectal carcinoma cells significantly decreased TYRO3 mRNA and protein levels, and miR-7 seed sequences in the 3′ untranslated region of the TYRO3 gene were essential for miR-7 regulation of luciferase from a TYRO3 reporter construct [46,72]. This evidence concerns the gene TYRO3 and colorectal carcinoma.
