MiR-106b-5p regulates esophageal squamous cell carcinoma progression by binding to HPGD

Several studies have documented the key role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Although the expression of the 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (HPGD) gene and miR106b-5p are reportedly linked to cancer progression, their underlying mechanisms in ESCC remain unclear.
