Analysis of <i>C. parvum</i>-upregulated miRNAs in cholangiocytes reveals potential transactivation of their genes by NF-κB.

MicroRNA genes related to C. parvum-upregulated mature miRNAs, their chromosomal location and co-expressed host genes were identified by the miRBase (http://microrna.sanger.ac.uk/) database search and confirmed by previous studies as referred. Potential promoter element for each miRNA was based on the referred studies and potential NF-κB binding sites were identified by the TFSEARCH (http://www.cbrc.jp/research/db/TFSEARCH.html) and MOTIF (http://motif.genome.jp/) search.
