miR-92a-5p is thought to induce its effects by targeting essential molecules in the cell cycle, including Retinoblastoma (RB), Dickkopfrelated protein 3 (DKK3) and FBXW7 mRNA and then, promotes cell proliferation and invasion in cervical cancer (Zhou et al., 2015; Chen et al., 2017b; Yu et al., 2019). Here, DKK3 is linked to cervical cancer.
