miR-410 Induces Both Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Radioresistance through Activation of the PI3K/mTOR Pathway in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Scientists demonstrated that PTEN was a direct target of miR-410 by using bioinformatic tools and dual-luciferase reporter assays, and the miR-410-induced epithelial–mesenchymal transition and radioresistance were reversed by PI3K, Akt, and mTOR inhibitors or by restoring the expression of PTEN in non-small cell lung cancer cells.
