Genetic Networks Lead and Follow Tumor Development: MicroRNA Regulation of Cell Cycle and Apoptosis in the p53 Pathways

Figure 3

Direct p53 regulation by miRNAs. miRNAs directly interact with TP53 mRNA by binding to sites in the 3′-UTR. This interaction inhibits the translation of mRNA, resulting in the repression of p53 activity. ORF: open reading frame.
