miR-451a introduced into GBC cells reduces the volume of cell aggregates

Caption

When human biliary tract cancer cells are transfected with miR-451a, cell proliferation within the cell aggregates is inhibited. Researchers from Okayama University Hospital, Japan, show this occurs due to the suppression of PI3K/AKT pathway, partially through the downregulation of MIF.
