Downregulated USP3 mRNA functions as a competitive endogenous RNA of SMAD4 by sponging miR-224 and promotes metastasis in colorectal cancer
Abstract Increasing evidence shows that competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) can affect the expression of other transcripts by sequestering common microRNAs (miRNAs), and participate in tumourigenesis. As a potent tumour suppressor in colorectal cancer (CRC), SMAD4 is regulated by many miRNAs. Howev...
