Figure 8 Epi-miRNA functions in cancer cells.
Epi-miRNAs (in red) directly target epigenetic effectors (black boxes) and indirectly affect the expression of epigenetically regulated miRNAs and protein coding genes (white boxes), contributing to carcinogenesis. TSGs: Tumor suppressor genes; DNMT: DNA methyltransferase; HDAC: Histone deacetylase; EZH2: Enhancer of zeste homolog 2; BCL6: B-cell CLL/lymphoma 6; CDK6: Cyclin-dependent kinase 6; SP1: Sp1 transcription factor; RBL2: Retinoblastoma-like 2 (p130); CH3: Methyl group.
