EGFR and cancer: Moreover, in drug-exposed cells subjected to miR-217 forced expression, a down-regulation for several genes involved in cancer drug resistance was observed, many of which are cell cycle regulators, such as CCND1, CCNE1, CDK2, CDKN1A, CDKN1B, while others, such as ARNT, BRCA1, BRCA2, ELK1, EGFR, ERBB4, and RARA are involved in proliferation and cell cycle progression.
