#674 Serum miRNA Expression in Small Intestine Neuroendocrine Tumors and Biological Function of miR-196a in Neuroendocrine Tumor Cells

Introduction: MicroRNAs (miRNAs), post-transcriptional regulators, function either as tumor suppressors or oncogenes. We recently identified five upregulated and four downregulated miRNAs in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumor (SI-NET) tissue. We then started new analysis on body fluids to detect tumor signatures using patients’ serum.
