摘要: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and non-small cell lung (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 80% cases. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been consistently demonstrated to be involved in NSCLC act as either tumor oncogenes or suppressors. In this study, we identified a specific binding site miR-218-5p 3'-untranslated region epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). We further experimentally validated direct regulator EGFR. also an inverse correlation between EGFR protein levels tissue samples. Moreover, that plays critical role suppressing proliferation migration cells probably by Finally, examined function vivo revealed exerts anti-tumor effect negatively regulating xenograft mouse model. Taken together, results study highlight important regulation may open new avenues future therapies.
