MIR31HG expression between plasma and ESCC tissues was compared using Pearson correlation analysis; furthermore, the association between Furin/MMP1 levels and MIR31HG levels in ESCC tissues was analyzed.  Furthermore, MIR31HG displayed high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for predicting ESCC occurance.  Furthermore, knockdown of MIR31HG suppressed the capacity for proliferation, migration, and invasion of ESCC cells (P < 0.01).
