A New Network-Based Strategy for Predicting the Potential miRNA-mRNA Interactions in Tumorigenesis by Jiwei Xue, Fanfan Xie, Junmei Xu, Yuan Liu, Yu Liang, Zhining Wen, Menglong Li

“…In addition, several genes, which were predicted to be regulated by more than three miRNAs, were identified to be the potential drug targets annotated by using the human protein atlas database. Our results demonstrated that the proposed strategy can be helpful for predicting the miRNA-mRNA interactions in tumorigenesis and identifying the cancer-related miRNAs as the potential drug targets.…”
