Abstract Glioma is the most common malignant tumor of the nervous system. Studies have shown the microRNA-26b
(miR-26b)/cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) axis in the development and progression in many tumor cells. Our study
aims to investigate the effect and mechanism of the miR-26b/COX-2 axis in glioma. Decreased expression of
miR-26b with increased levels of COX-2 was found in glioma tissues compared with matched normal tissues.
A strong negative correlation was observed between the level of miR-26b and COX-2 in 30 glioma tissues. The
miR-26b was then overexpressed by transfecting a miR-26b mimic into U-373 cells. The invasive cell More >
