miR‑140‑5p inhibits cell proliferation and invasion in colorectal carcinoma by targeting SOX4

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to influence the occurrence and development of colorectal carcinoma (CRC). In the current research, we explored miR‑140‑5p function in CRC. In addition, the molecular mechanisms of miR‑140‑5p/SOX4 axis for CRC were investigated. The miR‑140‑5p and SOX4 expression levels were evaluated via RT‑qPCR or western blot analysis. The MTT and Transwell assay assessed cell proliferation and invasion. Luciferase assay...
