MiR-203a-3p is downregulated in NPC cell lines and clinical specimens. Relative expression of miR-203a-3p in NP69 and NPC cell lines by real-time PCR a. Relative expression of miR-203a-3p in normal nasopharyngeal epithelial (n = 7) and NPC tissues (n = 16) b. Each experiment was independently repeated for at least three times. Data are presented as mean ± S.D. MiR-203a-3p expression profile in 62 NPC and 6 normal nasopharyngeal epithelial samples using GEO database c. P-value was calculated using the Student’s t-test
