MiR-218 increases sensitivity to cisplatin in esophageal cancer cells via targeting survivin expression

Abstract

Increasing evidence showed that microRNAs (miRNAs) were implicated in the chemical resistance of human cancers. We intended to investigate the role of miR-218 in cisplatin sensitivity of esophageal cancer cells.
