Using EMSA, we were able to show that hsa-miR-34a-5p by binding to the 3’-UTR regulates expression of DCK. MiRNA hsa-miR-34a has been extensively studied in various cancers [19,20,21,22,23] and it has been shown to play an important role as a tumor suppressor by targeting various genes. Here, DCK is linked to neoplasm.
