Wen et al. presented similar findings in gastric cancer, where they showed that the level of miR-133b negatively correlated with that of FGFR1 in gastric cancer tissues, miR-133b directly inhibited FGFR1 on the protein but not the mRNA level, and by targeting FGFR1, miR-133b inhibited cancer cell growth [14]. Here, FGFR1 is linked to cancer.
