Zusammenfassung
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a common type of cancer in children and adolescents, characterized by recurrent cytogenetic abnormalities. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have shown to play a major role in leukemogenesis. We conducted a functional anti-miR screening to complement a previous global gene expression profiling in cytogenetically characterized AML subgroups (MLL-rearranged, t(8;21), t(15;17)). Four leukemia cell lines with the corresponding karyotypes were transfected with 470 anti-miRs and cell viability was assessed after 72h and 96h. Bioinformatic analysis (B score calculation) revealed a total of 187 candidat…
