miR-506 was down-regulated while LHX2 was up-regulated in NPC tissues. a the miR-506 expression and mRNA level of LHX2, Wnt1, β-catenin, E-cadherin, Vimentin, and Twist in NPC and paracanerous tissues as determined by RT-qPCR; b and c the protein level of LHX2, Wnt1, β-catenin, E-cadherin, Vimentin, and Twist in NPC and paracanerous tissues as measured by western blot analysis; * p < 0.05 vs. the paracancerous tissue; miR-506, microRNA-506; LHX2, LIM Homeobox 2; E-cadherin, epithelial-cadherin; NPC, nasopharyngeal carcinoma; RT-qPCR, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction
