Several target genes of miR-140-5p have been identified, including platelet-derived growth factor receptor A (PDGFRA) in ovarian cancer [27], insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) in cervical cancer [28], and YES proto-oncogene 1 (YES1) in gastric cancer [25]. This evidence concerns the gene IGF2 and cervical carcinoma.
