A recent study from Stem Cell Program, Boston Children’s Hospital, Boston, MA, USA; Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA; and Harvard Stem Cell Institute, Cambridge, MA, USA shows that “The Hippo Transducer YAP1 Transforms Activated Satellite Cells and Is a Potent Effector of Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma Formation.” This study was published in the July 31  2014 Cancer Cell (The number 1 journal in basic Cancer biology) by Prof  Fernando D. Camargo,  Annie M. Tremblay, and others.

On the foundation of this interesting finding, Dr L Boominathan PhD, Director-cum-chief Scientist of GBMD, reports that: MiRNA-based Differentiation Therapy for Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma: MiRNA-506 inhibits the activation of satellite cells and the development of Rhabdomyosarcoma via down regulation of its target geneThis study suggests that miR-506, by increasing the expression of  MYOD1 and MEF2, it may promote Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma differentiation Together, this study suggests that pharmacological formulations encompassing“miR-506 activators” may be used to treat Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma.
