The miR-181 family promotes cell cycle by targeting CTDSPL , a phosphatase-like tumor suppressor in uveal melanoma

Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to function in many different cellular processes, including proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation and development. miR-181a, -181b, -181c and -181d are miR-181 members of the family, which has been rarely studied, especially uveal melanoma.
