Effect of miR-146b-5p inhibitor on EGFR mRNA expression in PTC.

Samples	miR-146b-5p expression		EGFR Expression
	Control	+/miR-146b-5p inhibitor	Fold Change	p-value*
1	-1.03	-1.41	-2.98
2	73.01	-54.87	19.65	0.001
3	62.25	-134.13	3.02
4	19.29	-176.27	10.75
5	49.18	-28.60	39.25
6	16.00	-4.50	22.57
7	10.78	-2.91	140.40

Fold change is calculated using the 2(-ΔΔCt) of the transfected versus control cells.

*Statistical analysis is done using paired student t-test.
