Abstract

Avoiding the inhibitory effects of p53 on cell growth is important for tumor progression. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Picchiorri et al. describe epigenetic silencing of MDM2-targeting microRNAs in multiple myeloma (MM), which generally appears to have intact p53 function. This provides the rationale for microRNA-targeted therapy for MM.
