miR-137 Modulates Human Gastric Cancer Cell Proliferation, Apoptosis, and Migration by Targeting EZH2.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a malignancy of the digestive tract with rapid progress, poor prognosis, and low survival rate. The aberrant expression of microRNA (miRNA) is closely related to the tumorigenesis and progression of GC. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of miR-137 on the proliferation, apoptosis, and migration of GC cells.
