    Abstract

    IMP3
    Accelerates the Progression of Prostate Cancer through Inhibiting PTEN Expression in a SMURF1-Dependent Way

    Insulin-like growth factor 2 messenger RNA binding protein 3 expression level was significantly increased in prostate cancer tissues and cell lines as compared with the paracancerous normal tissues and cells.
