Expression level of miR-616 in NSCLC. (A) The expression level of miR-616 was compared between NSCLC and matched adjacent normal tissues. The expression of miR-616 was significantly increased in NSCLC tissues, compared with the adjacent normal tissues. (B) The expression level of miR-616 was compared between patients with small (≤3 cm) and large tumors. Patients with large tumors had a significantly increased level of miR-616. (C) The expression level of miR-616 was compared between patients with metastasis and those without metastasis. Patients with metastasis had a significantly increased level of miR-616. (D) The expression level of miR-616 was compared between 3 NSCLC cell lines and the NL-20 cells. n=3 repeats with similar results; *P<0.05 by t-test. NSCLC, non-small cell lung cancer.
