First we independently identified miRNA-146a as the strongest correlated miRNA with EGFR activation status and pharmacological EGFR inhibition in a screen that involved an array of 425 miRNAs in a series of NSCLC cell lines and BA/F3 transfectants with various EGFR genomic status (unpublished data on file). This evidence concerns the gene EGFR and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
