miRNA-425-5p enhances lung cancer growth via the PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling axis.

Background: miRNAs regulate a multitude of cellular processes and their aberrant regulation is linked to human cancer. However, the role of miR-425-5p in lung cancer (LCa) is still largely unclear. Here, we explored the role of miR-425-5p during LCa tumorigenesis.
