AKR1C1 and lung cancer: The most significant finding in the present study is that we identified at the first time that miR-182 and miR-185 are target regulators of SLC30A1, SERPINB2 or AKR1C1 that function as potential oncogenes because they were able to induce neoplastic transformation in NIH3T3 cells and were overexpressed in human lung cancer.
