Article Title: microRNA-181a-5p impedes the proliferation, migration, and invasion of retinoblastoma cells by targeting the NRAS proto-oncogene

doi: 10.1016/j.clinsp.2022.100026

Figure Lengend Snippet: MiR-181a-5p is downregulated in RB tissues and cell lines. (A) Quantitative reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) showed that miR-181a-5p was significantly downregulated in RB tissues compared with the normal retinal tissues. (B) qRT-PCR showed that miR-181a-5p was significantly downregulated in RB cell lines compared to the normal retinal pigment epithelial cells. The expression of miR-181a-5p was normalized to that of the U6 small nuclear RNA (snRNA). The data are shown as the mean ± standard deviation from three independent experiments. **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001.
