A miR-375/YAP axis regulates neuroendocrine differentiation and tumorigenesis in lung carcinoid cells

Abstract Lung carcinoids are variably aggressive and mechanistically understudied neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). Here, we identified and elucidated the function of a miR-375/yes-associated protein (YAP) axis in lung carcinoid (H727) cells. miR-375 and YAP are respectively high and low expressed in...
