Essentially, miRNA deregulation in cancer is oncogenic (oncomiR) under two different conditions: (a) when overexpressed, miRNAs may block tumor suppressor gene translation or (b) when underexpressed, miRNAs may derepress protooncogene mRNA translation (Figure 2).
Dramatic progress has been made in recent years in auxin signaling, especially in understanding the ARF family of transcription factors that collaborate with Aux/IAA proteins to repress and derepress auxin-controlled transcription (Parry & Estelle, 2006; Quint & Gray, 2006).
Thus, the APC acts as a brake on axon growth indirectly, by regulating the stability of transcription factors that either work to enhance or derepress axon growth.

These cleaved intracellular fragments, known as Notch-intracellular domains (N-ICD), translocate to the nucleus, bind to the CSL (CBF1/Su[H]/ Lag-1) transcriptional complex, and derepress its transcription in a manner similar to Wnt transcriptional activation [78].
