Abstract Expression of miR-181a-5p associates with the proliferation and progression of cancer cells via its targets.
This study was designed to investigate the effect of miR-181a-5p and its target inositol polyphosphate-5-
phosphatase A (INPP5A) on the progression of cervical cancers. Upregulation of miR-181a-5p was revealed in
the cervical cancer cell lines HeLa and SiHa in comparison with a normal cervical epithelium cell line End1/
E6E7 (p<0.001). The inhibition and upregulation of miR-181a-5p in cervical cancer cell lines significantly
reduced or increased cell proliferation and invasion capacity, accompanied with enhanced or reduced apoptosis
(p<0.05). Moreover, INPP5A overexpression significantly More >
