miR-616 promotes the in vivo growth and lung metastasis of H-358 cells in nude mice. (A) Overexpression of miR-616 promoted the subcutaneous growth of H-358 cells in nude mice. (B) The tumor volume and (C) tumor weight were significantly increased after overexpression of miR-616 in H-358 cells. (D) miR-616 overexpression increased the frequency of lung metastasis of H-358 cells in nude mice. (E) Incidence of lung metastasis and (F) number of lung metastatic nodules were significantly increased after overexpression of miR-616 in H-358 cells. n=5 repeats with similar results; *P<0.05 by t-test and Chi-square test.
