LncRNA EIF3J-AS1 enhanced esophageal cancer invasion via regulating AKT1 expression through sponging miR-373-3p

Abstract Esophageal cancer (ECa) remains a major cause of mortality across the globe. The expression of EIF3J-AS1 is altered in a plethora of tumors, but its role in ECa development and progression are undefined. Here, we show that EIF3J-AS1 is up-regulated in ECa and that its expression correlates...
