miR‑494‑3p promotes the progression of endometrial cancer by regulating the PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway

MicroRNAs (miRs) are essential regulators in the development and progression of cancer. The role of miR-494-3p in endometrial cancer (EC) has not yet been investigated. In the present study, the expression levels of miR‑494‑3p were significantly upregulated in EC tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues. Furthermore, upregulation of miR‑494‑3p in patients with EC indicated poorer prognosis; miR‑494‑3p overexpression significantly promoted...
