VEGFA and gastric cancer: hsa-miR-142-5p, which was upregulated in disease vs. HC, R1 vs. HC, and R2 vs. HC, in combination with hsa-miR-375, was reported to be a predictor of disease progression, showing potential to predict recurrent gastric cancer; hsa-miR-142-5p is involved in the regulation of several oncogenic signaling pathways such as vascular endothelial growth factor hsa-miR-142-5p, TP53, MAPK, and Wnt (47).
