Objective To investigate the expression level of miR-720 in breast cancer(BC).Methods The method of quantitative stem-loop RT–PCR was used to detect the expression levels of miR-720 in 55 pairs of paraffin-embedded BC tissues and corresponding tissues adjacent to carcinoma, BC cells and immortalized mammary gland epithelial cells.Results Expression levels of miR-720 in paraffin-embedded BC tissues and BC cell lines are significantly lower than in the corresponding adjacent tissues and immortalized mammary gland epithelial cells.Conclusion miR-720 is downregulated in...
