MicroRNA-454 inhibits tumor cell proliferation, migration and invasion by downregulating zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1 in gastric cancer

Gastric cancer is the fourth most common malignancy and the third leading cause of cancer‑associated mortality globally. Accumulating studies have identified the involvement of microRNAs in the initiation and progression of gastric cancer. This study was aimed to investigate the expression, functional roles of microRNA‑454 (miR‑454) and its direct target gene in gastric cancer. According to the results, the expression level of miR‑454 was...
