Zhang et al. demonstrated that miR-141 could influence cell cycle, apoptotic phenotype, cell migration and invasion by regulating Bromodomain-containing protein 3 (BRD3), Ubiquitin-associated protein 1 (UBAP1), c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK), serine/threonine protein kinase (Akt/PKB), and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) signaling transduction pathways in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The gene discussed is UBAP1; the disease is nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
