EBV-miR-BART8-3pregulatesEMT and increases metastasis-related markers expression in NPC cells. a Western blotting reveals that upregulation of EBV-miR-BART8-3p results in a reduction in the E-cadherin expression and an increase in the Snail, N-cadherin, Vimentin expression. GAPDH serves as an internal control. b Morphology changes are observed using phase contrast microscopy (magnification, × 200). c Western blotting reveals that upregulation of EBV-miR-BART8-3presults in an increase in the MMP2 and MMP9 expression
