Upregulation of microRNA-107 induces proliferation in human gastric cancer cells by targeting the transcription factor FOXO1.

abstract：:Microinjection of human liver mRNA from a patient homozygous for alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency (PiZZ) into Xenopus oocytes led to a 2--10-fold increase in lysosomal activity. Stimulation of lysosomal activity was not observed when mRNA from a normal human liver (alpha 1-antitrypsin PiMM), or water was injected into t...
