Role of miR-944/MMP10/AXL- axis in lymph node metastasis in tongue cancer

MMP10, which is upregulated in 86% of primary tongue tumors with lymph node metastases, is negatively regulated by miR-944 and promotes nodal metastasis in an orthotopic tongue cancer mouse model through the AXL signaling pathway.
