title: Binding of intronic miRNAs to the mRNAs of host genes encoding intronic miRNAs and proteins that participate in tumourigenesis.
abstract: In this study, we examined 615 host genes encoding 915 in-miRNAs as possible targets for interactions with all in-miRNAs. Host genes whose proteins are involved in esophageal, gastric, small bowel, colorectal, and breast cancer development were studied. Unique in-miRNA binding sites with a significance of p<0.0005 were found in the 5'UTRs, CDSs, and 3'UTRs of the host genes encoding proteins that are key participants in tumourigenesis. These data shed light on the interactions between miRNAs and mRNAs and on the role of candidate proteins in cancer. Therefore, our findings have potential application in the development of diagnostic and treatment methods.
