Abstract Objective: MicroRNA-188-5p (miR-188) enhances oncologic progression in various human malignancies. This
study aimed to explore its role in colorectal cancer (CRC). Materials and Methods: Human CRC tissues paired with
normal tissues, and several CRC cell lines were utilized. Real-time quantitative PCR was applied to measure the
expression of miR-188. Overexpression and knockdown were used to access the function of miR-188 and to
investigate whether FOXL1/Wnt signaling mediates such function. The proliferation, migration and invasion of cancer
cells were evaluated by CCK8, wound-healing and transwell assays, respectively. Whether FOXL1 acted as a direct
target of miR-188 was verified More >
