A significant reduction in expression of Cdt2 was detected in both the cervical cancer cell lines (Fig. 1A Lane 3, 4, 5 and 6 and Fig. 1B), whereas ectopic expression of miR-34a did not cause any significant change in expression of Cdt2 in HEK293T cell lines (Fig. 1A Lane 1and 2 and Fig. 1B). Here, DTL is linked to cervical carcinoma.
