MicroRNA‐488‐3p inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis by targeting ZBTB2 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the eighth most prevalent cancer and the sixth leading cause for cancer‐associated mortality. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are increasingly reported to exert important regulatory functions in human cancers by regulating certain gene expression. miR‐488‐3p has been identified to be a tumor suppressor in multiple cancers, but its role in ESCC is yet to be investigated. The present study aimed to uncover the...
