miR-873-5p was down-regulated in colorectal cancer tissues and cells. a Total RNA was extracted from colorectal cancer and normal tissues, and then reverse transcribed into cDNA. miR-873-5p levels were showed by RT-qPCR assay. N shows the total number of patients with colorectal cancer. b RT-qPCR assay was used to detect miR-873-5p expression levels in colorectal cancer and normal tissues. c RT-qPCR assay was used to detect miR-873-5p expression levels in NCM460, HCT116, H29, SW620, LOVO and SW480 cells. d Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that miR-873-5p expression in colorectal cancer patients. All the experiments were repeated more than three times. *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01;***, p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001
