Meanwhile, we also demonstrated that GM-CSF was a main inducer of miR-200c in tumor environment, and miR-200c in turn promoted the expansion and immune suppressive activity of MDSCs via targeting phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and friend of Gata 2 (FOG2), which can lead to STAT3 and PI3K/Akt activation. The gene discussed is ZFPM2; the disease is neoplasm.
