Epigenetic Repression of miR-218 Promotes Esophageal Carcinogenesis by Targeting ROBO1

Epigenetic Repression of miR-218 Promotes Esophageal Carcinogenesis by Targeting ROBO1

miR-218, consisting of miR-218-1 at 4p15.31 and miR-218-2 at 5q35.1, was significantly decreased in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in our previous study. The aim of this study was to determine whether aberrant methylation is associated with miR-218 repression. Bisulfite sequencing analysi...
