MicroRNA-1290 promotes esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell proliferation and metastasis

Figure 2 mRNA and protein expression of suppressor of cancer cell invasion is downregulated in clinical esophageal squamous cell carcinoma specimens. A: Quantitative real-time PCR analysis showed that the relative mRNA expression of SCAI was downregulated in ESCC tissues compared with that in paired adjacent normal tissues, n = 6; B: Protein expression level of SCAI was significantly decreased in ESCC compared with that in paired adjacent normal tissues, n = 6. ^bP < 0.01 vs control. NAT: Normal adjacent tissues; SCAI: Suppressor of cancer cell invasion; PCR: Polymerase chain reaction; ESCC: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
