Figure 6. In situ localization of miR-196a in laryngeal tissues.
(A) 3′-DIG–labeled LNA probe was utilized to detect the localization of miR-196a in laryngeal cancer tissues by in situ hybridization. Negative control without miR-196a-specific probe is shown (right panel). Boxed fields are presented with higher magnification in panel B. (B) miR-196a was detected both in cancer cells (right panel; filled arrowheads) and stroma (right panel; grey arrowheads), while not detected in normal squamous cell epithelium (left panel; white arrowheads). The scale bar (black) represents 200 µm.
