Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editors' attention by a concerned reader that certain of the Transwell assay data in the article (featured in Figs. 3B and 7B) were strikingly similar to data appearing in different form in other articles by different authors at different research institutes that had already been published elsewhere at the time of the present article's submission. Furthermore, the scratch wound assay data in Fig.

Deregulation of miR‑195 has been observed in numerous types of human cancer, including cervical cancer; however, the detailed molecular mechanism of miR‑195 underlying the malignant progression of cervical cancer remains largely unclear. In the present study, miR‑195 was significantly downregulated in cervical cancer tissue samples compared with adjacent non‑tumor tissue samples, and the reduced expression level of miR‑195 was associated with node metastasis and an advanced clinical stage in cervical cancer.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFOXM1 is a well-established oncogenic factor that has been reported to be involved in multiple biological processes including cell proliferation, growth, angiogenesis, migration and invasion. It can also be regulated by miRNAs. In this study, we reported that FOXM1 is directly targeted by miR-342-3p, which is down-regulated along with its host gene, EVL, in human cervical cancer tissues compared to the adjacent normal tissues.

Methods: Recombinant adenovirus which expressed E7 gene was constructed and packed. Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to detect the changes of cell cycle phase and cyclin D1 between cells infected and uninfected by recombinant adenovirus.
