Abstract excerpt
microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in tumorigenesis. However, the mechanisms by which miRNAs regulate gastric cancer metastasis remain poorly understood. In the current study, we defined the target genes and biological functions of miR-27 with a luciferase reporter assay and Western blot analysis. We verified that miR-27 levels were increased in gastric cancer tissues. The overexpression of miR-27 promoted...
