Decreased miR-940 expression can predict a negative prognosis in early-stage nonsmoking female lung adenocarcinoma. [PDF]
Early-stage female lung adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer encountered in thoracic surgery departments. Tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging does not adequately explain a significant stratification phenomenon in the prognosis of patients with stage I lung adenocarcinoma.

miR-940 potentially promotes proliferation and metastasis of endometrial carcinoma through regulation of MRVI1. [PDF]
Abstract The specific functions and clinical significance of miR-940 in endometrial carcinoma (EC) have not been studied. First, we assessed the expression of miR-940 and MRVI1 in EC tissues collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and EC cell lines.

MiR-940 Inhibited Cell Growth and Migration in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Breast cancer is the main type of cancer in women, and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a unique subtype of breast cancer. The expression of miR-940 has been shown to play an important role in various cancers; however, the role of miR-940 in TNBC remains unknown.

Clinical potential of miR-940 as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in breast cancer patients. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer remains the most invasive female malignancy worldwide. Functional role of microRNA-940 (miR-940) have been investigated in various cancer. The purpose of this study was to assess the serum miR-940 expression and its clinical significance in breast cancer.

MiR-940 inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma growth and correlates with prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma patients. [PDF]
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is among the leading causes of cancer‐related death in China. Deregulation of microRNA (miRNA) contributes to HCC development by influencing cell growth, apoptosis, migration or invasion. It has been proved that miR‐940 plays important roles in various cancers. Here we investigated the role of miR‐940 in HCC.

MiR‐940 Suppresses Ferroptosis by Controlling Expression of Key Regulatory Genes
Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death that is characterized by iron‐dependent lipid peroxidation. This process is regulated by specific metabolites, the lipid composition of the cells, redox‐active iron, and antioxidant mechanisms.

miR-940 Suppresses Tumor Cell Invasion and Migration via Regulation of CXCR2 in Hepatocellular Carcinoma. [PDF]
Aim. To investigate the expression of miR-940 in the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its impact on function and biological mechanism in the HCC cells.Methods. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis was used to quantify miR-940 expression in 46 cases of tissues and cells. Transfection of HCC cell lines was performed by miR-940 mimics; the abilities of invasion

MiR-139-5p, miR-940 and miR-193a-5p inhibit the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma by targeting SPOCK1. [PDF]
AbstractThe study was aimed to screen out miRNAs with differential expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to explore the influence of the expressions of these miRNAs and their target gene on HCC cell proliferation, invasion and apoptosis. MiRNAs with differential expression in HCC were screened out by microarray analysis.
