Human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells : S18 with high metastasis potential vs. S26 with low metastasis potential. Human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells : S18 with high metastasis potential vs. S26 with low metastasis potential

Metastasis is the major reason of treatment failure in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. miRNAs have been identified to regulate tumor metastasis. We aimed to identify metastasis-associated miRNAs in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Overall design: Using Agilent Human miRNA (8*60K) V19.0 Chips, we profiled the miRNA expressions between high-metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line S18 and low-metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line S26 to identify metastasis-related miRNAs.
