Regulation of miR-200c/141 expression by intergenic DNA-looping and transcriptional read-through

Abstract

The miR-141/200 familly of micro RNAs control oxidative stress and impact on ovarian tumorigenesis. Here the authors show that the transcription of miR-200c/141 is regulated through transcriptional read-through of the upstream gene PTPN6, and DNA looping linking the PTPN6 and miR-200c/141 promoters.
