Down-Regulation of PTEN Expression Modulated by Dysregulated miR-21 Contributes to the Progression of Esophageal Cancer

Background and Aim miR-21, a putative tumor oncomiR, is a frequently overexpressed miRNA in a variety of tumors. Because it targets tumor-suppressor genes it has been linked to tumor progression. In this study we investigated the role of miR-21 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and its p...
