MiR-885-5p mimics remarkably suppressed viability, proliferation, migration and tumorigenic capacity of glioma cells in addition to an increase in apoptosis, which could be attenuated by concomitant upregulation of HSP90AA1-IT1 These results evidently suggested that miR-885-5p could be involved in HSP90AA1-IT1-mediated gliomagenesis with a potential role as a tumor suppressor. The gene discussed is HSP90AA1; the disease is glioma.
