LHX2 and non-small cell lung carcinoma: In conclusion, this is the first report that miR-1238 is down-regulated in NSCLC, which is reversely correlated with the expression of LHX2. Mechanistically, miR-1238 inhibits LHX2 expression by directly targeting LHX2 3′-UTR, and thereby represses NSCLC cell proliferation.
