The negative regulation of PHLPP2 and FOXO1 by miR-135a leads to dysregulation of phosphorylated Akt, p21, p27, CyclinD1 and Ki67, indicating that miR-135a plays an essential role in bladder cancer progression through Akt-mediated signaling (Figure 7). The gene discussed is CDKN1B; the disease is urinary bladder carcinoma.
