In this study, through analyzing publicly available algorithms, we found that several cytokine receptors, including EGFR, ERBB4, FGFR1, IGF1R, IFG2R, IN2R, MET and NGFR, may be potential target of miR-133a-3p, in which only EGFR, FGFR1, IGF1R and MET were targeted by miR-133a-3p in PCa cells. Here, MET is linked to posterior cortical atrophy.
