Down-Regulation of miR-140 Induces EMT and Promotes Invasion by Targeting Slug in Esophageal Cancer

Down-Regulation of miR-140 Induces EMT and Promotes Invasion by Targeting Slug in Esophageal Cancer

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...
