miR-221-3p overexpression was almost significantly associated with time to metastasis (p = 0.0863) and with poor prognosis (p = 0.0074). 248 Different studies explored the upregulation of miR-221 to influence cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, by different mediators such as suppressing PTEN and so activating PI3K/Akt pathway, 249 or suppressing FBXW11 through Wnt pathway activation, 250 or inducing cisplatin resistance through downregulation of the tumor-suppressor gene PPP2R2A .
