MiR-183-5p is required for non-small cell lung cancer progression by repressing PTEN

Lung cancer is the leading cause in all cancer deaths. A low survival rate and high recurrence rate of lung cancer make the endeavor to identify new, more effective therapies a primary goal. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are regarded as regulators of tumorigenesis and it is known that miR-183-5p is significantly upregulated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), suggesting it has an oncogenic function in lung cancer. In this study, we found that miR-183-5p...
