DDX5 and cancer: We show that HBV replication induces the expression of proto-oncogenic miR-17~92 and its paralog miR106b~25 19 which directly target the three prime untranslated region (3'-UTR) of DDX5. miRNAs silence gene expression post-transcriptionally, regulating an array of biological processes, and linked to various diseased states including cancer 20.
