In other studies, miR-210 has been shown to regulate cell survival and death in neuronal cells, targeting the expression of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2 to induce apoptosis in neuroblastoma cells [44] or the proapoptotic protein BNIP3 to protect against apoptosis in neural progenitor cells [45], also inducing cell-cycle progression and terminal differentiation [46]. Here, BNIP3 is linked to neuroblastoma.
