The expression level of miR-218 was significantly downregulated in tumor tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues (p = 0.039; Figure 2A), whereas LAMA3, LAMB3 and LAMC2 were upregulated in tumor tissues (P = 0.018, p = 0.0029 and p = 0.0009, respectively; Figure 2B - 2D). Here, LAMA3 is linked to neoplasm.
