We determined that miR-128 regulates hnRNPA1 mRNA levels in a panel of cell lines, including an induced pluripotent stem cell line, a cancer-initiating cell line and three different cancer cell lines (iPSCs), colon cancer initiating cells (CCIC), breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231), non-small cell lung cancer line (NCI-A549) and a teratoma cell line (Tera-1). This evidence concerns the gene HNRNPA1 and cancer.
