Further research is still required to examine whether other miRNAs or signaling pathways can regulate NDRG1 in PCa, because we could not exclude that there might be other microRNAs, not found yet, to play an important role in regulating NDRG1 in PCa, and whether miR-182 can target other members of the NDRG1 family. Here, NDRG1 is linked to posterior cortical atrophy.
