OBJECTIVE: Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)/mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal pathway participates in cell proliferation, cycle, and apoptosis. MiR-16 is down-regulated in the pituitary tumor. This study investigated the role and related mechanism of miR-16 on pituitary tumor proliferation, cycle, and apoptosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Dual-luciferase reporter assay was conducted to demonstrate the targeted regulation … Continue reading MiR-16 inhibits pituitary adenoma cell proliferation via the suppression of ERK/MAPK signal pathway
