MiR-17-5p Inhibits the Proliferation and Metastasis of Gastric Cancer Cells by Targeting PTEN Protein.

Abstract

The miR-17-5p was upregulated in gastric-cancer patients. Simultaneously, si-miR-17-5p dramatically inhibited the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of gastric-cancer cells, and PTEN protein was its downstream target protein. The study provides a new approach to the treatment of gastric cancer.
