Abstract Increasing studies have suggested that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the development of gliomas.
MicroRNA-216a has been reported to be a tumor-associated miRNA in many types of cancer, either as an
oncogene or as a tumor suppressor. However, little is known about the function of miR-216a in gliomas. The
present study was designed to explore the potential role of miR-216a in gliomas. We found that miR-216a was
significantly decreased in glioma tissues and cell lines. Overexpression of miR-216a significantly suppressed
the proliferation, migration, and invasion of glioma cells. Leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled
receptor 5 (LGR5) More >
