MicroRNA‑198 suppresses tumour growth and metastasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma by targeting CDK4

MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miR) often contribute to the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) via the regulation of mRNA. The present study aimed to investigate the role of miR‑198 in OSCC pathogenesis and explore the underlying mechanism. Reverse transcription‑quantitative (RT‑q)PCR was performed to determine miR‑198 expression in OSCC tissues and cell lines, and univariate and multivariate analyses were applied to evaluate the survival of...
