MicroRNA‑500a‑5p inhibits colorectal cancer cell invasion and epithelial‑mesenchymal transition

The development of malignant tumors is a series of complex processes, the majority of which have not been elucidated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the microRNAs (miRNAs/miR) that affect the migration and invasion abilities of CRC cells. Our previous reports have revealed that miR‑500a‑5p suppressed CRC cell growth and malignant transformation. The present study demonstrated that overexpression of miR‑500a‑5p reduced the...
