Down-Regulation of miR-140 Induces EMT and Promotes Invasion by Targeting Slug in Esophageal Cancer
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are reported to regulate cell invasion and functions by interfering with the translation of target mRNAs, but the role of miRNAs in esophageal cancer (EC) remains unclear. METHODS: RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of miRNAs and candidate genes in EC samples (n=89). miR-140 mimics and inhibitor were tansfected in human TE-1 and Eca-109 cells. The...
