<h4>Background</h4>MiR-1 (microRNA-1) has been used as a positive control in some microRNA experiments. We found that miR-1 transfection of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells reveals a typical apoptotic process as shown by time-lapse microscopy so we investigated the mechanisms of miR-1 inducing apoptosis.<h4>Methods</h4>To confirm that miR-1 induces apoptosis, we used Annexin V and TUNEL staining and caspase assay. To determine that miR-1 directly targets genes that involve in apoptosis, we analyze ...[more]
