Dysregulation of the miR-557/MELK axis and its correlation with tumor markers in cervical cancer

Introduction

Cervical cancer is a common gynecologic malignancy, and increasing evidence indicates that micro-RNA and its target genes are involved in its regulation. This study aimed to investigate alterations in miR-557 and maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase (MELK) expression and their associations with tumor markers in cervical cancer.
