MicroRNA expression distinguishes SCLC from NSCLC lung tumor cells and suggests a possible pathological relationship between SCLCs and NSCLCs

The lung cancer cell lines were established from tissue specimens obtained from lung cancer patients [73]. The subtype of each lung cancer cell line is based on histological examination of the tumor from which the line was derived. Patient age, ethnicity, and gender are listed along with the source of the tissue sample and the site from which the sample was derived.
