A novel mechanism for MET and EGFR axis regulation in non-small cell lung cancer involving microRNA-27a and Sprouty2
Statistics from Altmetric.com
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and hepatocyte growth factor receptor (MET) are tyrosine kinase receptors that have been implicated in the pathogenesis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSLC). Sprouty2, a ubiquitously expressed protein, has been shown to upregulate EGFR and MET in several types of cancers. Conversely, microRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression negatively, …
