Figure 1.

miR-29a is downregulated, while LASP1 is upregulated in NSCLC.

Notes: Real-time RT-PCR was conducted to examine the expression levels of miR-29a (A) and LASP1 (B) in 78 cases of NSCLC samples and their matched adjacent non-tumor tissues (adjacent). (C) Real-time RT-PCR was conducted to examine the expression levels of miR-29a in human NSCLC cell lines and normal human lung epithelial BEAS-2B cells. (D) Real-time RT-PCR and (E) Western blot were conducted to examine the mRNA and western expression levels of LASP1 in human NSCLC cell lines and normal human lung epithelial BEAS-2B cells. For (C–E), **P<0.01 vs BEAS-2B.

Abbreviations: miR, microRNA; mRNA, messenger RNA; NSCLC, non-small cell lung cancer; RT-PCR, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.
