Some studies suggest that miR‐124‐3p is abnormally expressed in many malignancies.16, 31, 32, 33 In addition, miR‐124‐3p plays different regulatory functions in different tumor cell types.34, 35, 36 This study confirmed that miR‐124‐3p overexpression could reduce liver cancer cell metastasis and reduce Slug expression. Here, SNAI2 is linked to liver cancer.
