However, the influence of an overexpression of miR-877-3p on signaling pathways such as the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway and the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/v-akt murine thymoma (PI3K/AKT) signaling pathway that are deeply related to cytokines/chemokines production, was not investigated in the present study. This evidence concerns the gene SOAT1 and thymoma.
