That said, whereas the expressions of the majority of appreciably expressed miRNAs in HCT116 colon cancer cells are significantly decreased in individual knockouts (KOs) of DROSHA, DGCR8, XPO5, and DICER, on average, only 3.5% of tsRNA, ysRNA, and rsRNA expressions are impaired. The gene discussed is XPO5; the disease is malignant colon neoplasm.
