miR‑142‑5p inhibits pancreatic cancer cell migration and invasion by targeting PIK3CA

Pancreatic cancer is a fatal disease with a high mortality rate and poor prognosis worldwide. The aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRs) is associated with cancer development and progression. The present study aimed to evaluate the functional role of miR‑142‑5p in migration and invasion, and investigated its underlying molecular mechanism in pancreatic cancer cells. First, it was identified that miR‑142‑5p expression was downregulated in...
