GSE99423 KH-type splicing regulatory protein (KHSRP) is involved in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma progression through regulating a subset of microRNAs [miRNA]

However, the function and underlying mechanisms of KHSRP in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remain largely unknown. In the present study, we uncover a novel oncogenic function of KHSRP in esophageal tumorigenesis, and implicate its use as a marker for prognostic evaluation and as a putative therapeutic target in ESCC.
