miR‐150 functions as a tumour suppressor in human colorectal cancer by targeting c‐Myb

Our previously published study documented a deregulation of the microRNA miR‐150 in colorectal cancer. Here, we investigated further, in vitro and in vivo, the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the involvement of miR‐150 in colorectal cancer, using the appropriate molecular biological methods. We report that miR‐150 is a key regulator in the tumourigenesis and progression of colorectal cancer, by acting as a tumour suppressor targeting c‐Myb. The current findings suggest that miR‐150 may have important roles in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer.
