Although we investigated apoptosis induction and downregulation of CDK2 expression, along with upregulation of Cleaved Caspase-3 expression in bladder cancer cells transfected with edited miR-154-p13-5p or LIX1L-siRNAs, we did not further elucidate the direct connection between CDK2 and Cleaved Caspase-3. The gene discussed is CASP3; the disease is urinary bladder carcinoma.
