摘要: Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes cancer-related deaths worldwide. Although development therapy approaches, outcome CRC patients still poor, understanding biological mechanism progression critical to improve treatment strategies. miRNAs regulate progression, we found miR-938 was upregulated in tissues and cells, MTT assay, colony formation assay soft agar growth suggested overexpression promoted cell proliferation, knockdown inhibited proliferation. Tumor suppressor PH domain Leucine-rich-repeats Protein Phosphatase 2 (PHLPP2) a target miR-938, PHLPP2, luciferase activity directly bound 3′UTR meanwhile, c-Myc Cyclin D1 expression, confirming Double PHLPP2 suggesting proliferation by inhibiting PHLPP2.
