GLI1 and neuroblastoma: Similarly, in our work, GLI1 was also demonstrated as a direct target of miR-873 in NB cells, and GLI1 overexpression could markedly weaken miR-873 roles in inhibiting cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of SK-N-SH cells and inducing cell apoptosis and S phase arrest, suggesting that miR-873 inhibited NB progression via targeting GLI1.
