miR-708 targeted Sestrin-3 to inhibit Forkhead Box O1 (FOXO1) phosphorylation, resulting in apoptosis of prostate adenocarcinoma cells and AKT-inactivated NEPC cells, the latter of which was consistent with the progression of tumor xenografts in mice under miR-708 treatment. The gene discussed is FOXO1; the disease is prostate adenocarcinoma.
